Import Tips & Compliance

Provide chemical analysis certificate confirming carbon 0.25-0.6% and absence of alloying elements per HTS Chapter 72 notes

Avoid shipments with any surface treatments (e.g

phosphatizing); these qualify as 'further worked' and shift classification

Document hot-rolling process origin; twisted-after-rolling permitted but must not alter basic classification
