Import Tips
• Segregate high-carbon billets from low-carbon during storage/transport to prevent mix-up errors
• Certify absence of 'further worked' treatments like phosphatizing per Chapter note definitions
• For high-volume imports, consider binding ruling on consistent product specs to avoid exam delays
