Import Tips
• 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
