Import Tips
• Verify the carbon and chromium content meets the tool steel definition to avoid classification disputes
• Ensure the bar is not further worked than hot-rolled; any additional processing may change the tariff classification
• Consider whether the end-use (dies, punches) affects the classification, though it generally does not for this heading
