Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis reports confirming exact carbon percentage to comply with precise HTS carbon band
• Declare round vs. shaped cross-section accurately, as other profiles may shift to different statistical suffixes
• Bundle in original coils; repackaging could trigger 'further worked' scrutiny under Chapter notes
