Import Tips
• 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
