Import Tips
• Verify exact diameter measurement with calipers as CBP requires precise compliance for the <1.5mm threshold
• Provide mill test certificate confirming <0.25% carbon content to avoid reclassification to higher carbon categories
• Ensure no surface plating or coating; even minimal oil residue can trigger scrutiny under 'not plated or coated' provision
