Import Tips & Compliance

Include spectrochemical analysis in entry docs proving tool steel specs; generic alloy claims rejected

Declare exact rolling history—hot-rolled then cold-reduced qualifies, but fully hot-rolled goes to 7225

Watch for minimum width reporting; <600 mm overall but sub-300 mm precision affects statistical suffix
