Import Tips & Compliance

Include tensile strength specs in documentation; ensure no alloy elements trigger high-strength steel note

Label as 'not further worked'—avoid any polishing or coating that shifts classification

Bulk imports common; segregate by thickness to prevent commingling with thinner gauges under different codes
