Import Tips
• Confirm pickling/oiling occurred immediately post-hot-rolling without altering surface classification
• Document pattern formation during hot-rolling to distinguish from cold-rolled embossing
• Watch for rust/discoloration; no duty allowance per chapter note, so inspect condition at entry
