Import Tips
• Verify cast iron composition via material certificates to confirm eligibility under the cast-iron subheading
• Include detailed foundry process documentation proving no advanced machining beyond fin/gate removal
• Avoid misclassification by distinguishing from finished assemblies; common pitfall is overlooking 'non-aircraft' specificity
