Import Tips
• Confirm the stick is not considered a 'bar or rod' under Section Note 9(a) — if it has a uniform cross-section and is not in coils, it may be classified differently
• Provide documentation of the zone-refining process and purity levels
• Verify whether the product is destined for further processing, which may affect classification
