Import Tips

Obtain supplier certification confirming cold-rolled state and no further working; test for nonalloy status if chromium/manganese levels approach tool steel thresholds

Ensure coil form at entry—slit or cut-to-length may reclassify

Comply with rust note: no duty reduction for pre-entry discoloration
