Import Tips & Compliance

Submit chemical analysis report proving tool steel per note (e)(ii); customs audits common for alloy claims

Coils must remain in coil form at entry; uncoiling for inspection risks reclassification

Watch for rust/discoloration—no duty allowance per chapter note, even if pre-entry damage
