Import Tips
• Ensure the steel meets the silico-manganese definition (0.5-1.9% manganese, 0.6-2.3% silicon, ≤0.7% carbon) and provide a mill certificate
• Verify the product is cold-formed, not hot-rolled, to confirm classification
• Declare the correct end use (e.g
• automotive shafts) to avoid reclassification
