Import Tips
• Include forging process certification; distinguish from hot-rolled to confirm 7214 applicability
• Watch for rust/discoloration - no duty allowance per chapter note, ensure proper packaging
• Label clearly as 'not further worked' to prevent misclassification as semi-finished 7207 or worked 7215
