Import Tips
• Obtain supplier certification that pickling/oiling doesn't alter the hot-rolled classification per US notes
• Measure coil width precisely (>600mm) and document untrimmed edges to prevent downgauging to narrower strip codes
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims as Chapter notes deny duty reductions for pre-entry surface issues
