Import Tips & Compliance

Submit detailed alloy composition report; CBP verifies against tool steel criteria strictly

Avoid common pitfall of edge trimming counting as 'further worked'; declare as-rolled state

Check for high-strength steel misclassification if yield strength exceeds note 72(a) thresholds
