Import Tips
• Certify minimum yield strength exceeds 355 MPa for thicknesses ≥3mm or 275 MPa for thinner to qualify as high-strength steel
• Provide mill test certificates confirming annealed condition and 'advanced' status per statistical note 4
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no cladding, plating, or coating; declare exact thickness and width accurately
