Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying high-speed steel composition per Chapter 72 note (e) to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact diameter and alloy analysis; wire over 1.5mm may shift to rod categories
• Ensure no further surface working like coating, as that triggers different subheadings
