Import Tips
• Provide slit width documentation; slitting doesn't change classification but must confirm <600 mm
• Label with exact grade and Cr content; CBP may test for tool steel exclusions per US Note (e)
• Avoid classifying as razor blade steel (US Note d) unless certified for that specific thin narrow use
