Import Tips
• Document TRIP microstructure and tensile properties exceeding standard AHSS thresholds for statistical note 4 validation
• Verify coil form and width ≥600 mm; narrower widths shift to 7210 or 7225
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims as no duty allowance per chapter note on iron/steel damage
