Import Tips
• Certify minimum yield strength ≥355 MPa for thickness ≥3 mm at entry per U.S. note (a); retain mill test certificates
• Ensure proper pickling documentation; no coating/cladding allowed under this subheading
• Verify coil width ≥600 mm and thickness 3-4.75 mm to avoid reclassification; watch for rust/discoloration claims
