Import Tips
• Maintain chain-of-custody documentation from mill to entry proving no intermediate processing occurred
• Measure all four dimensions at customs; inconsistent measurements lead to 7207.20.00.30 reclassification
• Declare exact carbon analysis method (wet chemistry vs spectroscopy) for verification
