Import Tips
• US note (a) high-strength certification required; tensile tests prove minimum yield specifications
• Distinguish from tool steel note (e); carbon/chromium levels determine nonalloy vs alloy status
• Section 232 steel tariffs may apply; check quota licenses for high-strength coated imports
