Import Tips
• Verify carbon content certification via mill test reports to confirm ≥0.25% for this subheading; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Ensure product is truly semifinished (not hot-rolled to bar dimensions) to avoid misclassification under 7213 or 7214
• Provide accurate cross-sectional measurements; must be circular and not further worked like coated or polished
