Import Tips
• Certify exact thickness (3-4.75mm) and width (≥1370mm) with mill test reports to avoid reclassification to thinner or narrower subheadings
• Confirm 'not further worked' status—no polishing, coating, or cladding allowed; provide surface inspection documentation
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims as no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes; inspect coils pre-entry
