Import Tips
• Require supplier affidavits on cold-finishing process; hot-rolled equivalents classify differently
• Measure diameter at multiple points to certify maximum dimension under 18 mm per statistical breakout
• For PH grades, distinguish from heat-treatable alloys that might qualify as tool steel under US Note (e)
