Import Tips
• Submit tensile strength and yield point test data; DP steels must meet high-strength steel criteria in US note (a)
• Ensure imported in coils, not straightened/processed further, to avoid reclassification
• Watch for partial rust allowance prohibition—no duty reduction per chapter note on discoloration
