Import Tips
• Verify casting composition meets cast-iron standards via mill test reports to avoid misclassification as steel parts
• Document machining is limited to cleaning/fin removal; excess processing shifts to 8411.99.1080
• Include end-use certification proving nonaircraft application to prevent aircraft turbine scrutiny
