Import Tips

Verify carbon content certificate ≥0.25% and exact cross-sectional dimensions to confirm width <4x thickness for proper classification

Provide mill test reports documenting nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification as alloy steel under Chapter 72 headings

Inspect for rust/discoloration upon entry; no duty allowance per Chapter 72 note, so reject heavily rusted lots pre-shipment
