Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming carbon content between 0.25-0.6% and nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification
• Measure and document exact diameter to confirm under 76 mm; exceeding triggers different subheading
• Ensure no additional surface treatments beyond cold-finishing, as 'further worked' per Chapter 72 notes changes classification
