Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming exact elemental composition matches U.S
• Note (f) for chipper knife steel, including carbon 0.48-0.55%, Cr 7.25-8.75%, Mo 1.25-1.75%
• Verify product is hot-rolled only with no further working like polishing or coating to avoid reclassification under 7226.91.15 or 7226.92
• Ensure width under 600mm and document as 'not further worked' to prevent common pitfalls of duty reassessment
