Import Tips
• Include technical datasheets specifying tensile strength and diameter to distinguish from rod forms
• Check for any coatings; uncoated wire stays in 8101.96, but coated may shift to 8101.97
• Declare intended use as EDM to preempt scrutiny, but note classification is material-based, not end-use
