Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the bake-hardenable steel is non-alloy; if it contains micro-alloying elements above thresholds, it may be classified under heading 7225
• Provide documentation confirming the coil is annealed and not further worked
• Verify the thickness is at least 0.5 mm and width at least 600 mm
