Import Tips
• Include detailed wire gauge specs (ensure ≤6 mm) and photos showing wire form to support 'articles of wire' claim
• Avoid 'tool' or 'jewelry' markings on packaging to prevent reclassification; use 'craft wire forms' descriptors
• For alloy wire, submit chemical analysis confirming aluminum predominance per Chapter 76 note (b)
