Import Tips
• Certify alloy steel composition meets chapter 72 definitions to avoid reclassification as non-alloy steel
• Provide end-use documentation proving drilling application; generic tubes may shift to heading 7304
• Inspect for 'further worked' treatments like phosphatizing, which remain classified here per chapter notes
