Import Tips

Distinguish slit coil stock shipped in straight lengths from coiled form; coiled imports go to different 7225 headings

Maintain chain-of-custody documentation from mill slitting to prove no further working occurred

Test for exact elemental compliance; slight deviations (e.g

Cr >1.65%) reclassify as other tool steel
