Import Tips
• Certify chemical composition meets tool steel definition (e.g
• >1.2% C and >10.5% Cr) with mill test reports to avoid reclassification
• Ensure product is not further worked (no polishing/coating) and provide evidence of hot-rolled state only
• Declare exact thickness/width; thicknesses under 4.75mm shift to 7225.40.1170
