Import Tips
• Ensure accurate measurement of section profile to distinguish from simple bars under 7213
• Maintain records of flat-rolled product origin before cold-forming to support supply chain verification
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling coated products; uncoated falls here, painted shifts to 7216.99
