Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the bar is not ground, machined, or heat-treated after forging; such processing may reclassify it
• Provide a mill certificate showing W, Mo, V, and Cr content to confirm high-speed steel classification
• Check if the end-use (cutting tools) requires any import permits
