Import Tips
• Include surface defect specs (e.g
• ASTM standards) in entry docs to prove suitability for cold-heading
• Avoid mixing carbon grades in one shipment; separate declarations prevent average carbon misclassification
• Certify non-heat-treated status, as quenched/tempered could resemble tool steel under U.S
• Note (e)
