Import Tips
• Verify exact thickness and width measurements as they determine HTS subheading; provide mill test certificates confirming nonalloy composition
• Note untrimmed edges must be documented; slitting or edging post-import changes classification to trimmed categories
• Check for any discoloration/rust allowances per Chapter 72 notes—no duty reduction for pre-entry rust on steel products
