Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates (MTC) detailing carbon content (<0.25% typical) to prove nonalloy classification
• Confirm coil weight and dimensions; shipments over certain sizes may trigger different valuation or AD/CVD checks
• Label coils clearly as 'hot-rolled, irregular coils' to prevent confusion with wire rod (HTS 72.15) classifications
