Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain manufacturer's declaration of processing method (hot-drawn) to distinguish from cold methods

• Test for alloy content; nonalloy must lack significant elements per Chapter 72 definitions

• Document sectional profile precisely; mismatches lead to audits or duty adjustments
