Import Tips

Verify the steel is nonalloy (less than 10% total alloying elements) and confirm cold-forming process documentation to avoid reclassification

Provide mill test certificates showing chemical composition to prove nonalloy status and prevent alloy steel duties

Check for any 'further worked' surface treatments like coating, as these may shift classification to later headings
