Import Tips

• Verify chemical composition certification showing manganese >5% and silicon >20% to confirm spiegeleisen classification per Chapter 72 notes

• Ensure documentation includes foundry analysis reports; common pitfall is misclassification as basic pig iron under 7201.10

• Declare in primary pig form only; further worked products shift to other headings
