Import Tips
• Include manufacturer's spec sheet detailing silicon content and magnetic properties to distinguish from non-electrical alloy steel
• Watch for rust/discoloration claims; chapter note denies duty allowance for pre-entry damage
• If cut to precise lengths for retail, consider 7226.91 if insulated or further processed
