Import Tips
• Submit detailed chemical analysis certificates proving SUJ2 matches ball-bearing steel specs; discrepancies lead to 7225.99 reclassification
• Document hot-rolled state only—no annealing or pickling beyond standard hot-rolling, as 'further worked' per chapter notes shifts classification
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims at entry; no duty allowance per chapter note, so inspect pre-shipment
