Import Tips
• Certify minimum yield strength of 355 MPa per chapter note (a) with mill test certificate to qualify as high-strength steel
• Declare exact thickness (0.5-1 mm) and width (>600 mm) on entry documents; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Ensure no cladding, plating or coating; visual inspection common at entry to avoid duty adjustments
