Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis reports verifying 8630 specs (0.28-0.33% C, 0.4-0.7% Ni) to prevent classification as carbon steel
• Verify hot-rolling process documentation; cold-drawn equivalents go to 7228.50
• Watch for rust/discoloration—no duty allowance per Chapter 72 note; inspect upon arrival
