Import Tips
• Shipbuilding grades often near high-strength thresholds—test yield point <275 MPa for <3mm equiv to stay nonalloy
• Declare grade (e.g
• AH36) but classify by physical specs per chapter notes, not trade names
• Bulk packaging common; ensure not deemed 'for retail sale' which might invoke GRI 3 packaging rules
