Import Tips
• Use precise gauge measurements certified by importer; thickness variances can trigger reclassification to adjacent subheadings
• Maintain chain of custody documentation from mill to entry to prove no post-annealing surface treatments occurred
• Beware rust discoloration; Chapter 72 notes deny duty reductions for pre-entry rust on steel products
