Import Tips
• Certify exact carbon content (≥0.6%) and diameter measurement at entry to match HTS 7217.10.80.30; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Provide heat treatment process documentation (e.g
• quenching/tempering specs) as proof it's not merely polished
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims for duty reduction per Chapter 72 notes; inspect shipments pre-entry
