Import Tips
• Submit automotive grade certifications (e.g
• SAE J403 chemistry) and coating adhesion tests for smooth CBP clearance
• Distinguish from high-strength steel (Note a); standard nonalloy grades stay in 7210—misdeclaration risks penalties
• Track country-specific quotas under Section 232; declare end-use as automotive to qualify for potential exemptions
