Import Tips & Compliance

• Include chemical analysis reports confirming nonalloy steel (no significant alloying elements per chapter notes)

• Avoid common error of declaring as 'black annealed' if annealed, as polishing/burnishing could shift to other subheadings

• Label shipments clearly as 'not plated or coated' to prevent CBP reclassification during inspection
