Import Tips
• Ensure no internal threading or surface finishing, as these constitute processing under chapter notes
• Provide evidence of nonalloy steel content to distinguish from alloy fittings in 7307.99.30
• Avoid common pitfalls like oil coatings, which may be seen as processing and reclassify the item
