Import Tips

Certify exact carbon content (0.25-0.6%) via mill test certificate to avoid reclassification to lower carbon headings

Measure and document diameter exceeding 152 mm at entry; provide dimensional specs to CBP to confirm 'rounds' category

Avoid any post-rolling surface treatments like coating, as 'further worked' products shift to heading 7215
