Import Tips
• Verify exact thickness and width measurements with mill certificates to confirm 7211.14.00 classification
• Ensure no further working like polishing; inspect for rust as no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes
• Provide chemical composition analysis proving nonalloy steel (max 10% alloying elements)
