Import Tips
• Verify alloy steel composition via mill test certificate to confirm it doesn't qualify as tool steel or high-strength steel per Chapter 72 notes
• Ensure accurate measurement of width (300-600 mm) and thickness (<4.75 mm); mismeasurement can lead to reclassification
• No duty allowance for rust or discoloration present before entry, as per Chapter 72 note
