Import Tips
• 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
