Import Tips
• Submit original mill certificates documenting yield strength and hot-rolling process to substantiate HTS 7208.36.0030
• Avoid common pitfall of residual classification (7208.36.0090) by clearly proving high-strength qualification
• Declare exact thickness and width measurements as CBP verifies dimensional specs against tariff descriptions
