Import Tips
• Cross-reference JIS SUJ2 specs against US Note (h) - importers rejected for non-matching elemental ranges
• Document cold-rolling process origin; re-rolled imported hot-rolled may face origin determination issues
• Beware anti-dumping duties on certain Asian bearing steel origins - check Commerce scope rulings
