Import Tips
• Submit tensile test results confirming yield strength to CBP if requested during high-strength verification
• Avoid bundling with coated products; mixed shipments require separate classification
• Declare exact dimensions; thickness ≥3mm with ≥355 MPa may still qualify but check statistical breaks
