Import Tips
• Verify cold-forming process documentation to distinguish from hot-rolled products under 7216.61
• Provide mill test certificates confirming nonalloy steel composition to avoid alloy steel headings
• Check for any surface treatments that could reclassify as 'further worked' under 7216.92
