Import Tips
• Match international grade (S45C) to AISI equivalent for carbon confirmation in CBP documentation
• Segregate by diameter in shipments; mixing sizes <76mm and >=76mm complicates entry
• Certify no heat-resisting or tool steel elements per U.S. notes (a)-(h) to avoid alloy misclassification
