Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide evidence of hot-extrusion process and no further working (e.g
• no polishing per Chapter 72 'further worked' note) in entry docs
• Label with exact dimensions and grade to prevent reclassification as 'shapes and sections' if width/thickness ratio exceeds bar norms
