Import Tips
• Verify mold dimensions and material composition in documentation to confirm classification under 8454.20.00 and avoid reclassification as parts
• Obtain certificates proving use in metallurgical foundries; general steel products may shift to Chapter 73
• Check for anti-dumping duties on steel molds from specific countries like China or India
