Import Tips
• Verify that the CPM-M4 steel does not meet the high-speed steel definition under Chapter 72 Subheading Note 1(d); if the combined molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium content is below 7%, classification under 7227.90.00 is correct
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the exact chemical composition, including the vanadium content
• Be aware that particle metallurgy steels may have unique properties; ensure the documentation clearly describes the manufacturing process
