Import Tips

Provide mill test certificate confirming tool steel composition meets US note (e) criteria (e.g

>1.2% C, >10.5% Cr for D2)

Declare exact width (<300mm) and confirm not further worked than hot-rolled; no polishing or coating allowed

Avoid common pitfall of rust/discoloration claims—no duty allowance per chapter note
