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
