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
