Import Tips
• Include mill test certificates proving alloy elements exceed carbon steel thresholds but exclude tool steel specs
• Document coating process (hot-dip vs electrolytic) as both qualify under 'otherwise plated or coated'
• Avoid misclassification by confirming no 'further worked' treatments like painting that shift to other subheadings
