• Maintain traceability documentation from mill to importer proving consistent high-strength steel specifications
• Ensure entry documents specify 'not further worked' status to prevent misclassification to coated/plated headings
• Anticipate additional scrutiny on steel origin documentation due to renewable energy supply chain requirements
