Import Tips
• US Note prohibits duty reduction for rust; classify based on actual condition at entry regardless of surface appearance
• Differentiate from razor blade steel (US Note 72(d)); this lacks stainless/narrow specs
• For sets with fittings, may classify as 7326 if assembled for specific function
