Import Tips
• Include spectrographic analysis proving nonalloy composition (<0.3% alloying elements per Chapter notes)
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims; Chapter 72 notes deny duty reductions for pre-entry corrosion on steel
• Label entries clearly as 'hot-dip aluminum coated' to prevent exam/reclassification to generic coated codes
