Import Tips
• For automotive use, align with USMCA rules of origin using steel certs to qualify for preferential duties
• Prevent coil edge cracking during transport—use proper strapping to avoid reclassification claims
• Double-check not 'tool steel' per US Note 72(e)—nonalloy excludes alloy tool grades
