Import Tips
• Confirm the backing strips are not considered raw material (e.g
• strip of heading 72.13) but are specifically shaped or prepared for bandsaw blade use
• Provide evidence of pre-tempering or other processing that indicates their dedicated function
• If sold in coils, verify whether they meet the definition of strip in Section XV note 9(d) to avoid misclassification
