Import Tips
• Verify base metal composition (e.g
• steel, iron) via material certificates to confirm classification
• Ensure markings comply with country-of-origin labeling for office supplies under CBP rules
• Avoid misclassification as parts by documenting end-use as binder fittings, not general hardware
