Import Tips
• Confirm the chromium plating is applied as a metal coating and not as part of an article of Section XVI, which would be excluded
• Keep records of the hot-rolling process and steel composition to demonstrate nonalloy status
• Check if the shafts have additional machining that could reclassify them as parts of machinery
