Import Tips
• Supply metallurgical test reports confirming forging process (e.g
• upset forging) to distinguish from casting under CBP scrutiny
• Pair with bill of materials showing compatibility only with 8704 vehicles to prevent broader 8708.99 classification
• Watch for country-of-melt rules; steel from certain origins triggers Section 232 tariffs—declare origin precisely
