Import Tips
• Automotive specs often require SPCJ/CDCM grades—cross-reference EN/ISO standards in documentation
• Declare surface condition (e.g
• matte finish); oily residue from rolling permitted but not as coating
• Section 232 tariffs may apply—check steel import licenses if applicable beyond HTS duties
