Import Tips
• Provide documentation proving compliance with high-strength steel definition from U.S
• Note 72(a) to avoid duty reassessment
• Confirm no 'further worked' treatments like chemical coatings per chapter note, as these shift classification
• Monitor Section 232 tariff applicability and obtain necessary licenses for steel imports exceeding thresholds
