Import Tips
• Include chemical composition report showing alloy elements; distinguishes from carbon steel under 7211
• Avoid bulk rust claims—no reductions allowed per Chapter 72 note on discoloration before entry
• Label entries clearly as 'not further worked'; inspections often check for coatings triggering reclass
