Import Tips
• Provide extrusion process documentation to confirm not further worked, avoiding shift to cold-drawn headings
• Label clearly as nonalloy with carbon specs; test reports prevent disputes over high-strength steel notes
• Check for rust/discoloration claims - no duty allowance per chapter note, so inspect pre-entry
