Import Tips
• Ensure the A2 steel's chemical composition is accurately documented, with carbon and chromium content within the specified ranges for tool steel
• Provide a mill test certificate to the CBSA upon request
• If the coils are intended for further processing into tools, consider whether the end-use might affect classification; however, as imported in coil form, 7227.90.00 is appropriate
