Import Tips
• Include heat analysis certificates; carbon content outside 0.25-0.6% range requires different statistical suffix
• Verify no patterns in relief or deformations that might classify as concrete reinforcing under note (c)
• Separate from tool steel alloys per Chapter 72 note (e); alloy classification needs heading 7228
