Import Tips
• Confirm pickling/oiling doesn't qualify as prohibited chemical surface treatment; basic surface cleaning often allowed
• Ensure product remains descaled only, without patterns or cladding to stay in this subheading
• Document hot-rolling process origin to distinguish from cold-rolled alternatives
