Import Tips

Verify exact weight and gray iron composition via material certificates to confirm 8455.30.0015 eligibility and avoid reclassification to lighter rolls

Obtain mill test reports proving suitability for rolling mills, as general castings may shift to Chapter 73

Ensure proper documentation of end-use in metalworking to prevent customs disputes over industrial vs. general machinery parts
