Import Tips
• Document the specific relief pattern (e.g
• linen, diamond) as it distinguishes from smooth pickled steel; photos help CBP verification
• Confirm no cladding, plating, or coating beyond pickling—oiling is allowed but must not qualify as 'further worked'
• Test for nonalloy steel per Chapter 72 notes; alloy content >0.3% shifts to Chapter 72 alloy headings
