Import Tips & Compliance

• Label shipments clearly as 'cold-rolled not further worked' to match HTS description exactly

• Avoid common pitfall of mixed shipments with coated steel, which requires separate entries

• Check for Section 232 tariffs on steel; may apply regardless of HTS based on origin
