Import Tips
• Provide heat analysis certificate proving nonalloy steel; alloy additions could reclassify to Chapter 72 alloy headings
• Ensure 'not further worked' status—no polishing, coating, or chemical treatments per Chapter notes
• Document flatness tolerances as hot-rolled plates may have mill scale, affecting acceptance
