Import Tips
• Submit detailed cladding specifications and base steel chemistry to confirm nonalloy status per Chapter 72 notes
• Watch for rust/discoloration claims; no duty allowance per U.S. note on iron/steel damage
• Ensure documentation distinguishes cladding from metallic coating to prevent misclassification
