Import Tips
• Submit chemical composition analysis confirming alloy status (e.g
• Mg > specified limits) to comply with subheading definitions
• Measure and document exact cross-sectional dimensions to confirm >7 mm threshold versus finer wires
• Check for Section 232 tariffs on aluminum articles and maintain origin certificates for quota exemptions
