Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis reports proving carbon content; U.S
• Customs may test samples for accuracy
• Distinguish from square/rectangular sections under 7207.20.00.30 to prevent duty errors
• Avoid surface treatments like coating, as 'further worked' per chapter notes disqualifies from this heading
