Import Tips
• Include material test reports confirming aluminum content to prevent disputes over alloy vs. non-alloy classification
• Declare exact dimensions and usage (e.g
• mechanical securing) in entry docs to distinguish from rivets or tacks
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; provide cost breakdowns separating cotter pins from bulk hardware shipments
