Import Tips & Compliance

Verify chemical composition certification to confirm nonalloy status (max 0.25% combined other alloying elements)

Provide mill test reports showing hot-rolled process and dimensions exceeding 600 mm width

Avoid claims for rust discoloration as no duty reduction is allowed per Chapter 72 notes
