Import Tips
• Measure width precisely ≥600mm; narrower products shift to heading 7226 for <600mm flat-rolled alloy steel
• Retain rolling mill records proving no closed box pass if claiming universal mill status for potential alt classification
• Avoid misdeclaring thickness; sub-4.75mm goes to 7225.40.3030/3045 even if same alloy
