Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming silicon content >1% and electrical steel grade to avoid reclassification as common alloy steel
• Ensure accurate width measurement (>600mm) documentation; measure uncoiled product to prevent disputes
• Declare as 'other silicon electrical steel' explicitly; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits
