Import Tips
• Verify alloy steel composition meets Chapter 72 definitions; provide mill test certificates confirming non-stainless alloy elements
• Measure width precisely before entry as <300mm is critical; common pitfall is mismeasurement leading to reclassification
• No duty allowance for rust or discoloration per Chapter 72 notes; ensure proper packaging to avoid claims denial
