Import Tips
• Conductivity testing may be required if claimed for electrical uses; affects valuation but not HTS classification
• Mill certificates must confirm carbon content keeps it nonalloy (not tool/heat-resisting steel per notes)
• Import in master coils only; cut lengths packaged for retail may face different duty treatment
