Import Tips
• Verify flux content and metal composition via lab testing to confirm classification under 8311; mislabeling as plain wire risks reclassification
• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and welding certifications in documentation for customs clearance
• Avoid common pitfalls like importing in consumer packaging without proper industrial end-use declaration
