Import Tips

• Certify exact lead content (≥0.1% by weight) via mill test reports to confirm classification in this lead-specific subheading

• Ensure documentation specifies 'free-cutting steel' and hot-rolled condition without further working like cold drawing

• Avoid misclassification as lead-free types under 7214.30.00.20; test for lead to prevent CBP reclassification and penalties
