Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming tool steel composition per U.S
• Note (e)(i) with >1.2% C and >10.5% Cr
• Ensure product is not further worked (no polishing, coating) to avoid reclassification under 7225.99
• Declare exact thickness and width; common pitfall is mismeasuring width under 600 mm shifting to 7226
