Import Tips

Certify exact carbon content (0.25-0.6%) via mill test report to confirm nonalloy steel classification under Chapter 72 notes

Measure and document diameter precisely (76-152 mm) with caliper verification; slight deviations may shift to adjacent subheadings

Ensure no 'further working' like polishing or coating per U.S. note, or it shifts to 7215; inspect for rust but no duty allowance
