Import Tips

• Certify minimum yield strength meets 355 MPa for ≥3mm or 275 MPa for <3mm per US note (a) to avoid reclassification

• Provide mill test certificates confirming 'advanced high-strength' specs per statistical note 4 and annealed condition

• Ensure no cladding, plating or coating; inspect for further working like polishing which shifts to 7211
