Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition certificate showing <0.25% carbon to avoid reclassification to higher carbon headings
• Measure exact width before entry; products >=600mm shift to 7211.29 or Chapter 72 wide products
• No duty allowance for rust/discoloration per Chapter 72 notes; ensure proper packaging
