Import Tips
• Ensure no chemical treatments or coatings applied post-hot-rolling, as 'further worked' changes classification
• Document exact thickness and pattern formation method to comply with statistical reporting requirements
• Be aware no duty allowance for rust or discoloration occurring pre-entry per Chapter 72 notes
