Import Tips
• Include heat treatment and mechanical property certifications confirming ultra HSS status per statistical note 4
• Declare exact zinc coating weight (e.g
• Z100, Z140) to match statistical breakout requirements
• Watch for rust/discoloration claims disallowed under chapter note for coated steel entries
