Import Tips

• Verify AWS classification (e.g

• E7018) and coating composition on packaging to confirm HTS 8311.10.00.00; mislabeling can lead to reclassification

• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and welding certifications in documentation to expedite customs clearance

• Avoid common pitfalls like importing uncoated rods, which fall under HTS 7228 or 8311.20, triggering audits
