Import Tips
• Include end-use statements if imported for specific tooling, though classification based on physical characteristics per GRI 1
• Ensure product not in coils (7207 excludes coiled products, which go to 7213+ flat-rolled)
• Batch test for alloying elements; unintended additions >defined thresholds shift to Chapter 72 alloy steel headings
