Import Tips
• Provide engineering drawings showing profile cross-section to confirm it's not a simple rod
• Label with alloy type and temper (e.g
• T6) for customs valuation and origin verification
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing based on unfinished state; declare as profiles even if cut to length
