Import Tips
• Verify exact width measurement under 3.8 cm with calipers for accurate classification; mismeasurement leads to reclassification
• Include detailed construction specs (cylinder tumbler) and material certificates in documentation to avoid customs holds
• Label products clearly with country of origin and ensure anti-dumping compliance for base metal hardware
