Import Tips
• Certify exact chemical composition meets U.S. note (e) tool steel definition at entry to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test reports confirming cold-rolled process only, no further surface treatments like polishing
• Verify width exceeds 600 mm and thickness specs; common pitfall is mismeasuring for narrower products
