Import Tips
• Include coating weight certification (oz/ft²) as customs verifies against minimum zinc plating standards
• Confirm flat-rolled status—no patterns, embossing, or tempering that would trigger 'further worked' reclassification
• Watch for alloy additions; even trace elements can shift to Chapter 72 alloy headings with higher duties
