Import Tips
• Obtain end-use certificates if claiming preferential treatment; shipbuilding grade must still meet base steel specs
• Check for high-strength steel criteria—yield point tests required if claiming 7208.11 alt classification
• Ensure coil weight declarations accurate; overweight shipments may trigger valuation issues
