Import Tips
• Submit detailed alloy analysis proving O1 composition (0.85-1.0% C, 1-1.8% Mn) matches tool steel criteria
• Confirm no heat treatment beyond cold-rolling or surface treatments that constitute 'further worked' per chapter notes
• Declare width precisely; under 300 mm shifts to 7226.92.50 subheading
