Import Tips
• Provide chemical analysis reports confirming T1 composition (e.g
• 18% tungsten) to substantiate high-speed steel status
• Avoid packaging that suggests sets; import as individual bars to prevent classification as articles
• Check for minimum cross-section to distinguish from wire rod; CBP often scrutinizes thin sections
