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
