Import Tips
• Verify aluminum content exceeds 99% for non-alloyed or confirm alloy composition per chapter notes to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates documenting steel core and aluminum stranding to customs for smooth clearance
• Ensure no fittings or end assemblies are attached, as this would shift to other subheadings like 7614.90
