Import Tips

Verify the forging is not machined beyond rough shaping to qualify under 8481.90.90.81; machined parts shift to other subheadings

Provide mill test certificates confirming steel composition and forging process to avoid reclassification as unfinished castings

For semiconductor use, include end-use documentation to support duty claims but note classification remains material-based
