Import Tips

• Verify coating thickness and composition via lab testing to confirm 'painted or coated with plastics' classification and avoid reclassification to uncoated steel

• Provide mill test certificates documenting nonalloy steel composition (max 0.25% alloy elements) and coating specs for CBP review

• Watch for rust/discoloration allowances—none permitted under chapter notes, so ensure proper packaging to prevent pre-entry damage claims denial
