Import Tips
• Confirm the chemical composition of the L6 steel meets the definition of 'other alloy steel' under Chapter 72 Note 1(f), particularly the chromium and nickel content
• Provide a mill test certificate or certificate of analysis to the CBSA upon request
• Consider whether the end-use as band saw blades might affect classification; if the coils are cut to length and further processed, they may fall under a different heading
