Import Tips
• Use affidavits from manufacturer detailing exact machining operations to support 'not advanced beyond cleaning' claim
• Avoid bundling with finished components; ship as bulk rough parts to maintain classification
• Watch for reclassification if surface flatness exceeds basic location tolerances
