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
