Import Tips
• Confirm cross-sectional dimensions if wire-like; note 7616.91 wire limit doesn't apply here but affects classification proof
• Provide evidence of forging vs. casting via microstructure analysis if challenged by customs
• Bundle with import documentation showing intended use in dollies/hand trucks to support valuation
