Import Tips

• Label electrodes with AWS A5.1 specs and diameter to prove coated status for HTS 8311.10.00.00 compliance

• Package in sealed, moisture-proof containers; declare hydrogen content to avoid quality-related holds

• Watch for reclassification if flux is minimal—ensure coating weight meets 'coated electrode' criteria
