Import Tips & Compliance

Provide chemical analysis confirming carbon ≥0.6% and nonalloy status per chapter note definitions

Include plating thickness specs to distinguish from simple galvanized vs. heavier coatings

Avoid common pitfall of diameter mismeasurement leading to 7217.20.4530 or 4590 classification
