Import Tips

• Verify exact thickness and width measurements with mill certificates to confirm <0.361 mm and ≥600 mm; ensure no post-cold-rolling treatments like coating qualify as 'further worked'

• Declare as nonalloy steel with chemical composition certification to avoid alloy reclassification

• Watch for rust/discoloration—no duty allowance per chapter notes
