Import Tips
• Confirm not 'tool steel' per note (e) via chemical analysis; misclassification to 7228 can occur without certification
• Document hot-rolling process only; any polishing or coating makes it 'further worked' under Chapter 72 definition
• Use precise calipers for thickness verification; entries over 4.75mm shift to different statistical suffix
