Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificate confirming tool steel composition per chapter note (e) to avoid reclassification

Ensure thickness ≥4.75 mm and width ≥600 mm measured per HTS specs; common pitfall is edge trimming disqualifying coil status

Declare exact alloy analysis; US note requires certification for tool steel elements like C and Cr content
