Import Tips
• Document polishing as allowable under 'further worked' notes but confirm no chemical coatings were applied
• Provide exact dimensions and carbon analysis; CBP may test for compliance with thickness and composition limits
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims as Chapter 72 notes deny duty reductions for such damage prior to entry
