Import Tips
• Include galvanization thickness certification (ASTM A123) to prove corrosion resistance for grounding applications
• Declare exact dimensions and point style; customs may reclassify blunt-end rods as fence posts under 7308
• Pair with ground rod driver tool invoices if shipped together to avoid set classification issues
