Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition certification confirming nonalloy steel (no chromium, nickel exceeding limits)
• Measure exact diameter (<14mm) and confirm irregularly wound coil format to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test reports; common pitfall is misstating as alloy steel leading to higher duties
