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
