• Verify carbon content certification below 0.25% as per chapter notes to avoid reclassification to higher carbon headings
• Measure and document width-to-thickness ratio precisely; ratios under 4x shift to 7207.11
• Ensure no 'further worked' surface treatments like coating or polishing per chapter definition
