Import Tips
• Include core loss test data in entry docs to substantiate electrical steel classification per US additional notes
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims, as Chapter 72 notes deny duty reductions for pre-entry surface damage
• Label as 'not further worked' if only rolled; any coating pushes to 7226.92 subheadings
