Import Tips
• Include annealing furnace logs and hardness test results (typically Rockwell B 60-75) to substantiate classification
• Declare surface condition accurately; minor pickling before annealing doesn't constitute 'further worked' but document to avoid disputes
• Check for Section 232 tariffs on steel; obtain licenses if applicable for nonalloy imports
