Import Tips
• Submit core loss test data and domain-refined processing certification to prove grain-oriented status
• Avoid common error of declaring thickness incorrectly; must match exact specs to prevent duty reassessment
• For retail-packaged samples, may require 7226.99 if considered further worked with nonmetallic coatings
