Import Tips
• High-speed steel requires proof of red-hardness elements; retain foundry analysis reports
• Avoid classification disputes by documenting absence of further working (no enameling/varnishing)
• Check for high-strength steel specs which could shift to 7225.11 if yield strength exceeds 355 MPa
