Import Tips
• Entry must specify 'cold-rolled' vs 'cold-reduced'; both terms accepted but verify mill documentation consistency
• Statistical suffix .60 requires accurate 'other' categorization excluding universal mill plate specs
• Bulk import common; ensure proper stowage to prevent coil edge damage affecting classification
