Import Tips
• Verify exact carbon content via mill test certificate to confirm 0.25-0.6% range and nonalloy status (no intentional alloying elements)
• Ensure no 'further worked' treatments like polishing or coating per Chapter 72 notes; plain hot-rolled surface only
• Measure diameter precisely; products >=76 mm shift to other subheadings, affecting duty rates
