Import Tips
• Submit third-party lab analysis if foreign grade (GCr15); CBP cross-checks against US note (h) elemental ranges
• Declare 'not further worked' explicitly; any visible oxide/phosphate layer may be scrutinized as chemical treatment
• For high-volume imports, pre-apply for binding ruling on composition to prevent exam holds
