Import Tips
• Certify minimum yield strength ≥275 MPa at entry with mill test reports to qualify as high-strength steel per U.S
• Chapter 72 Note (a)
• Verify exact thickness <3 mm and width ≥600 mm; mismeasurement leads to reclassification under other subheadings
• Ensure no further working like polishing or coating; surface rust from transit doesn't affect classification per Chapter notes
