Import Tips
• Certify minimum yield strength (355 MPa for ≥3mm thick) with mill test reports to qualify as high-strength steel
• Provide detailed coating specs (zinc plating thickness, type like hot-dip or electro) in entry documentation
• Avoid misclassification as standard galvanized steel (7210.41) by including statistical note 4 verification
