Import Tips
• Classify based on actual yield strength testing, not grade name alone; must meet US note (a) thresholds
• Avoid declaring as 'further worked' if only cold-rolled—chapter note excludes coatings/phosphating
• Prepare for CBP verification of dimensions; measure thickness excluding any natural oxide layer
