Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming nonalloy steel composition (max 0.25% alloy elements) to avoid misclassification into alloy steel headings
• Declare exact width (<600mm) and coil form; uncoiling for inspection may trigger reclassification if not properly documented
• No duty allowance for rust/discoloration per chapter note; ensure proper packaging to prevent surface issues before entry
