Import Tips
• Certify exact chemical composition at entry to meet U.S. note (e) tool steel criteria (e.g
• C ≥0.3%, Cr 1.25-10.5%)
• Verify product is not 'further worked' per chapter note (no polishing, coating, etc.) to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates showing hot-rolled state and dimensions to prevent disputes on thickness/width
