Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit chemical analysis showing A2 composition (1% Cr min, 5% max) to confirm tool steel status
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims as Chapter note denies duty allowance for pre-entry corrosion
• Document hot-rolled scale presence to prove not further worked than hot-rolling
