Import Tips
• Include spectrochemical analysis in entry docs to prove nonalloy status and exact carbon percentage
• Confirm diameter via caliper measurement; borderline sizes often trigger CBP verification
• No duty allowance for surface rust per Chapter 72 note; ensure proper packaging to minimize pre-entry discoloration
