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 or cross-section exceeding 228 mm at entry; tolerances must comply with HTS specs
• Ensure no further surface treatments like coating or polishing, as that shifts to 7215.90 headings
