Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition certification to confirm nonalloy steel status (max 10% total alloying elements per chapter note 1(f))
• Ensure coils are irregularly wound, not straight lengths, to avoid reclassification under 7213.91 or 7214
• Document hot-rolling process; cold-drawn equivalents fall under chapter 72 heading 7215
