Import Tips
• Conduct material analysis to confirm aluminum predominates and steel is only core, per subheading note definitions
• Declare exact strand count and diameters in entry docs to match 'stranded wire, cables' scope
• Avoid common pitfall of including chain fittings which reclassifies to 7614.90 or Chapter 73
