Import Tips

• Verify the part is solely for heading 8462/8463 machines via manufacturer specs to avoid misclassification as general castings in 7325

• Include detailed engineering drawings showing minimal machining (only fin removal) to confirm eligibility for this low-duty subheading

• Check for steel content; if over 2% carbon, it remains cast iron, but alloy additions may shift to 8485 for generic machine parts
