Import Tips
• Provide precise dimensional specs and cold-forming certification; mismatches lead to CBP reclassification
• Confirm nonalloy status - alloy steel shapes go to 7228.70, potentially higher duties
• Avoid declaring in coils if straight lengths only; coiled products may shift to flat-rolled headings
