Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'ball-bearing steel per US Note 72(h)' with supporting lab analysis to expedite customs clearance
• Confirm product is 'flat-rolled' not bars/rods; thickness/width ratios must align with flat-rolled definitions
• Watch for AD/CVD on certain alloy steel from specific countries; check USTR exclusions before importing
