Import Tips
• Confirm the bar is not further worked after forging, such as machining or grinding—any additional processing may change classification
• Provide a mill certificate showing the D2 composition to verify the alloy steel classification
• Ensure the cross-section dimensions meet the definition of bars and rods in Chapter 72 Note 1(m)
