Import Tips
• Use ultrasonic testing reports to prove no internal machining; rough surfaces are key to this classification
• Avoid packaging with lubricants or coatings, as they may imply post-forging treatment
• For high-volume imports, pre-apply for binding ruling on 'processing' definition to prevent port disputes
