Import Tips
• Verify bolt diameter exceeds 6 mm and confirm shipment includes matching nuts/washers to qualify under this subheading
• Provide mill test certificates proving high-tensile steel composition to meet railroad safety standards and avoid reclassification
• Declare as 'track bolts' with end-use documentation for railways to prevent customs disputes over general-purpose bolts
