Import Tips
• Document Ni-Cr-Mo content to confirm 'other alloy steel' status, avoiding tool steel reclassification
• Measure and certify cross-sectional dimensions precisely to meet 'width at least four times thickness' criteria
• Declare as semi-finished (not further worked like coated/polished) per Chapter note
