Import Tips
• Verify cross-section dimensions to confirm rectangular (not square) shape, as square bars classify under 7214.91.0030
• Provide mill test certificates confirming nonalloy steel composition (max 0.25% alloy elements)
• Avoid claims for rust/discoloration allowances per Chapter 72 notes; ensure proper packaging
