Import Tips
• Verify carbon content certification below 0.25% by weight via mill test reports to avoid reclassification to higher carbon headings
• Measure and document exact diameter/cross-section exceeding 228 mm at time of entry to confirm eligibility
• Avoid surface treatments like coating or polishing, as they trigger 'further worked' status moving to HTS 7215.90
