Import Tips
• Certify minimum yield point of 275 MPa for thickness <3mm at entry per U.S. note (a); maintain mill test certificates
• Verify width under 300mm and hot-rolled condition only—no polishing, coating or cladding allowed
• Avoid duty allowance claims for rust/discoloration per Chapter 72 note—no reductions granted
