Import Tips
• Verify exact width (<51 mm) and thickness (>0.25 mm) measurements with calipers; CBP tolerances are strict
• Provide mill test certificates confirming nonalloy composition to avoid reclassification as alloy steel
• Ensure coils are not clad, plated, or coated; even minor oil residue may trigger 'further worked' scrutiny
