Import Tips
• Verify pickling certification and exact pattern dimensions to confirm HTS 7208.10.15.00 classification; misclassification to non-patterned steel risks audits
• Include mill test reports showing nonalloy composition (<0.3% alloy elements) and hot-rolled origin; ensure coil width ≥600 mm
• Watch for rust/discoloration—no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes; inspect upon arrival
