Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide gauge charts correlating thickness to <4.75mm; customs often re-gauge thin products

β€’ Ensure invoice specifies 'hot-rolled only' to avoid 'further worked' scrutiny like burnishing

β€’ Test for alloy status if manganese/silicon levels borderline; may shift to carbon steel headings
