Import Tips
• Verify exact thickness and width measurements to confirm <3mm and >600mm criteria; provide mill test certificates
• Ensure product is truly 'not further worked' - no polishing, coating, or other surface treatments per Chapter 72 notes
• Declare chemical composition to distinguish nonalloy steel (≤10% alloying elements) from alloy steels in Chapter 72
