Import Tips
• Include heat treatment records if normalized post-hot-draw, but avoid chemical/physical surface treatments to stay 'not further worked'
• Measure width/thickness ratio carefully; very thin flats may face review for 7213/7214 distinction
• Certify carbon content precisely; borderline cases often require lab testing by CBP
