Import Tips
• Provide chemical analysis reports confirming ≥0.6% carbon and absence of alloy elements like Cr>0.5% to prevent alloy reclassification
• Declare exact cross-section dimensions; square profiles shift to 7214.10
• No duty allowance for pre-entry rust/discoloration on carbon steel per HTS Chapter 72 note
