Import Tips
• 1
• Certify exact thickness measurement exceeds 10 mm and width over 600 mm at entry to confirm 7208.36.00 classification. 2
• Provide mill test certificates showing nonalloy steel composition (max 0.3% alloy elements). 3
• Avoid claims for rust discoloration as no duty allowance per chapter notes
