Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'not further worked' to prevent CBP misclassification as coated banding
• Include gauge/thickness measurements in commercial invoice; exceeding 1.25 mm avoids thinner subheadings
• Check for high-strength steel specs; if yield point exceeds Chapter note thresholds, reclassifies
