Import Tips
• Use third-party lab analysis for carbon verification; discrepancies lead to penalties or reclassification
• Document production method (forged/hot-rolled) explicitly in commercial invoice for CBP review
• Ensure no patterns in relief or box pass rolling, which could shift to specific plate categories
