Import Tips
• Certify exact chemical composition at entry to meet U.S. note (e) tool steel definition; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates showing cold-rolled state only (no polishing/coating) to avoid 'further worked' categories
• Measure width precisely; products ≥300 mm shift to 7226.92.50, altering duty rates
