Import Tips
• Distinguish from alloy tool steels in note (e); certify absence of Cr>1.25% or other elements to remain nonalloy
• Rust/discoloration before entry gets no duty allowance per chapter note; inspect shipments carefully
• Use precise HTS statistical reporting for rounds to avoid penalties on diameter/form declarations
