Import Tips
• Include chemical analysis report showing carbon content suitable for nonalloy steel to prevent reclassification
• Declare exact coil dimensions; uncoiling for measurement common at entry if specs appear borderline
• Avoid rust allowances—Chapter 72 note denies duty reduction for pre-entry discoloration on steel products
