Import Tips
• Certify heat treatment method (e.g
• patenting process) matches tariff definition of 'heat treated' to prevent disputes
• Watch for rust/discoloration; no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes, so ensure proper packaging
• Batch testing for diameter consistency avoids CBP measurement challenges at entry
