Import Tips
• Request supplier certification excluding tool steel elements (e.g
• >1.2% C and >10.5% Cr per note e) to defend classification
• Declare exact silicon/manganese percentages; discrepancies can trigger lab testing and delays
• Use heat-numbered coils for traceability, aiding in audits and anti-dumping inquiries common for steel
