Import Tips

Verify chemical composition certificate showing <0.25% carbon to avoid reclassification to higher carbon headings

Measure exact cross-sectional diameter at multiple points; must be uniform circular to qualify

Ensure no further working like surface coating, as that shifts to Chapter 73 headings
