Import Tips
• Include spectrometry reports verifying D2 composition; CBP often audits high-chromium tool steels
• Avoid partial manufacturing like rough machining, which shifts to 7228.60 or parts headings
• For repeated imports, apply for binding ruling on tool steel certification to streamline clearance
