Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming carbon content between 0.25-0.6% and nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification
• Ensure bars are truly 'not further worked' – no polishing, coating, or cold-finishing, as these shift to 7215 or higher
• Declare exact dimensions and cross-section; rectangular bars over certain sizes may fall under different subheadings
