Import Tips
• Include heat treatment records showing precipitation hardening status doesn't count as further working unless surface treated
• Avoid phosphatizing treatments—chemical surfaces are 'further worked' per notes, requiring 7219.33 classification
• For PH grades, confirm not high-strength steel per note (a) to prevent alloy steel shift
