Import Tips
• Provide origin-specific mill certificates translating GCr15 to U.S. ball-bearing steel equivalence for CBP review
• Confirm not in coils and width ≥600 mm; coiled products shift to 7208 or 7225.30 headings
• Test for 'further worked' surface treatments; even phosphatizing disqualifies from this not-further-worked subheading
