Import Tips
• Provide chemical analysis reports showing silicon >0.5% and manganese >1% to validate silico-manganese steel classification
• Check coil dimensions against universal mill plate definitions to avoid misclassification into plate categories
• Include end-use statements if targeted for automotive to support duty preference claims under trade agreements
