Import Tips
• Provide manufacturer specs showing butting process and J-bend nipples to confirm bicycle spoke status
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Swiss steel products; check Commerce Department updates
• Bundle in sets of 32 or 36 to match common wheel spoke counts for easier inventory declaration
