Import Tips
• Verify zinc coating thickness and method (hot-dip vs electro) meets ASTM A653 standards to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates confirming nonalloy steel composition and dimensions under 300mm width
• Watch for over 600mm widths which shift to 7210, causing higher duties; measure precisely before entry
