Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate verifying carbon content between 0.25-0.6% and nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification
• Measure cross-section precisely; square or near-square profiles shift to different subheadings within 7214
• Confirm no further working (polishing, coating) occurred post-hot-rolling to maintain classification
