Import Tips
• Specify 'guide rolls' vs 'work rolls' in documentation; generic 'mill rolls' often leads to valuation disputes
• Provide foundry test certificates showing chilled surface hardness for proper material classification
• Avoid bulk packaging that resembles scrap metal shipments to prevent inspection delays
