Import Tips

• Label shipments clearly as 'hollows for redrawing' with buyer contracts specifying end-processing to prevent misclassification as finished goods

• Conduct material analysis to confirm non-alloy status, as alloy traces could trigger reclassification and higher duties

• Watch for overlength shipments; ensure OD ≤114.3mm to stay in this subheading and avoid broader 'other' categories
