Import Tips
• Verify no 'further working' like coating occurred, as per Chapter 72 notes, to remain in 7227
• Document hot-rolling process to distinguish from cold-rolled alternatives in adjacent headings
• Beware rust/discoloration allowances—Chapter 72 note denies duty reductions for pre-entry rust on steel coils
