Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis report confirming nonalloy status and carbon range to prevent alloy steel misclassification
• Declare as 'not further worked' with no evidence of twisting or deformations, distinguishing from reinforcing bars
• For large diameters, ensure accurate gauging; CBP may inspect for compliance with 'rounds' shape and size
