Import Tips
• Verify copper purity and wire diameter to confirm classification under copper wire cloth, avoiding reclassification as expanded metal
• Provide mill test reports certifying it's not a copper-nickel alloy (nickel silvers) to prevent duty shifts
• Label as 'insect screen mesh' with mesh size specs; common pitfall is misdeclaring as plain wire cloth without end-use proof
