Import Tips
• Submit detailed alloy analysis proving tool steel specs to CBP; mismatches lead to 7208 reclassification
• Avoid any post-hot-roll treatments; even phosphatizing counts as 'further worked' per chapter notes
• Use statistical suffix .1180 for 'other' tool steel; track updates to HTS revisions
