Import Tips
• Submit precise thickness gauge readings; shims near 0.25 mm boundary often scrutinized for correct subheading
• Certify as nonalloy steel via heat analysis; tool steel compositions would redirect to Chapter 72 alloy headings
• Pack to prevent rust during transit—no duty allowance for steel discoloration per US note
