Import Tips
• Document exact drilling specifications (hole size, spacing) to distinguish from basic cold-formed profiles
• Obtain country-of-melt certifications to comply with US steel import quotas and Section 232 requirements
• Beware reclassification if holes considered minor; drilled profiles specifically qualify under this subheading
