Import Tips
• Obtain mill certificates verifying electroslag remelting process and chemical composition to meet HTS 7222.20.00.01 specificity
• Ensure bars are cold-finished only, without further working like polishing, to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact dimensions and grade; common pitfall is misstating remelt method leading to audits
