Import Tips
• Verify exact width under 300 mm and thickness over 0.25 mm with caliper measurements; CBP requires precise dimensional certification
• Provide mill test certificate confirming nonalloy steel composition (max 0.25% alloy elements) to avoid misclassification as alloy steel
• Ensure no surface treatments like coating or polishing qualify as 'further worked' per Chapter 72 notes, which would shift to 7212
