Import Tips
• Certify exact carbon content via mill test report (MTR) as ≥0.6% to qualify; levels below shift to 7214.99.0060
• Confirm 'not further worked' status—no polishing, coating, or chemical treatments allowed per Chapter 72 notes
• Declare as nonalloy steel (no intentional alloying elements exceeding limits); rust/discoloration doesn't reduce duties
