Import Tips
• Include sulfur/phosphorus analysis (<0.03%) as CBP targets ball-bearing steel's purity requirements
• Label as 'not further worked' explicitly; any burnishing or oxidation treatment reclassifies
• Use AD/CVD-free suppliers; this HTS avoids many steel tariffs but verify country of melt/pour
