Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates (MTC) verifying alloy composition and mechanical properties to confirm classification as 'other alloy steel'

Ensure product is not further worked (e.g

no polishing or coating) to avoid reclassification under 7225.99

Declare exact thickness and width measurements; common pitfall is mismeasurement leading to incorrect thickness subheading
