Import Tips
• Verify copper purity via material certification to meet Chapter 74 definitions and avoid reclassification as brass alloys
• Include detailed thread specs and wood-use declaration in commercial invoice to confirm 'screws for wood' status
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on copper products; check Commerce Department listings before importing
