Import Tips

Certify minimum yield strength ≥695 MPa with mill test reports to qualify as high-strength steel under US note (a)

Verify statistical note 4 compliance for 'advanced' designation via producer documentation to avoid reclassification

Ensure no cladding, plating or coating; inspect for further working like polishing which shifts to 7208.51+
