Import Tips
• Include production process certification (hot-extruded) to distinguish from cold-drawn products in higher-duty headings
• Watch for rust/discoloration; no duty allowance per Chapter 72 note, so inspect pre-entry
• Bundle in coils if applicable, but verify uncoiled diameter for round classification
