Import Tips
• Certify nonalloy status excluding tool steel elements (e.g
• high chromium) as defined in U.S. note (e)
• Measure diameter precisely—1.0 mm or over shifts to 7217.30.45.30 subheading
• Document plating as 'other base metals' not zinc/tin to prevent misfiling under statistical suffixes
