Import Tips
• Pickling/oiling is generally acceptable if not considered 'further worked'; provide processing details in entry docs
• Label coils clearly with thickness to prevent measurement disputes at customs
• Use protective packaging to minimize rust, as no duty allowance for pre-entry discoloration
