Import Tips
• Distinguish from razor blade steel (US Note d)—different width/thickness/composition specs apply
• Provide Rockwell hardness certification supporting cold-rolled condition without heat treatment
• Avoid phosphate coatings which qualify as chemical surface treatment under 'further worked' definition
