Import Tips
• Verify base metal composition (e.g
• steel, zinc) exceeds 50% for Chapter 83 classification; provide mill test certificates
• Label country of melt and pour for steel products to comply with Section 232 requirements if applicable
• Avoid misclassification as 'parts of furniture' under 9403; hinges are classified separately when imported standalone
