Import Tips
• Certify minimum yield strength at entry per US Note 72(a) to qualify as high-strength steel; provide mill test certificates confirming nonalloy composition and pickling process
• Avoid rust discoloration claims as no duty allowance per chapter notes
• Ensure coil width over 600 mm and thickness documented accurately
