Import Tips
• Document skin-pass reduction (minimal finishing pass) doesn't constitute further working per HTS rulings
• Test for nonalloy status via spectrometry; alloy trace elements could trigger Chapter 72 alloy reclassification
• Use protective packaging; no duty allowance for import rust per Chapter 72 rules
