Import Tips
• Include heat analysis certificates proving alloy elements exceed non-alloy thresholds but don't meet tool steel specs
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete HTS declaration; specify 'not universal mill plate' if applicable
• Check for rust/discoloration allowances per chapter note—no duty reduction for pre-entry surface issues
