Import Tips
• Confirm the steel is non-alloy and not clad, plated, or coated, as any surface treatment would shift classification
• Ensure the coil is in coil form and not further worked beyond cold rolling and annealing, such as slitting
• Verify the thickness is below 0.5 mm, as thicker products fall under a different tariff item
