Import Tips
• Submit dimensional specs confirming rectangular cross-section > square to distinguish from 7207.11.00
• Include continuous casting or hot-rolling process documentation proving semifinished status
• Avoid misdeclaration as universal mill plate (note b); slabs typically lack four-face rolling
