Import Tips
• Use independent lab testing if mill certificate unavailable to verify all chipper knife steel elemental ranges at time of entry
• Confirm 'not in coils' if applicable, as certain plate definitions exclude coiled products which may affect verification
• Train staff on Chapter 72 notes to avoid misdeclaring surface treatments that constitute 'further worked' status
