Import Tips
• Do not declare end-use (automotive) on entry docs; classification based on objective characteristics, not intended use
• Test for alloy elements; even trace amounts could reclassify if meeting tool steel or other definitions
• Ensure no patterns in relief; that would invoke universal mill plate note exclusion
