Import Tips & Compliance

Chemical analysis certificates essential to prove nonalloy status (<0.3% combined other elements)

Avoid shipments with protective plastic film; considered 'coated' under Chapter note definitions

Declare Rockwell hardness if applicable; excessive hardness may indicate additional processing
