Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming tool steel composition per US note (e.g
• >1.2% C, >10.5% Cr for D2)
• Verify dimensions meet 'width at least four times thickness' via caliper measurements before entry
• Avoid classifying as finished if further machining required; semi-finished status affects duty
