Import Tips
• Verify AWS classification (e.g
• E71T-1) on packaging and certificates to ensure compliance with HTS 8311.20.00.00
• Provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) and supplier specs to avoid misclassification as solid wire
• Check for proper labeling of diameter, flux type, and tensile strength to prevent customs delays
