Import Tips
• Certify exact chemical composition matches tool steel note (e) criteria to avoid reclassification as general alloy steel
• Provide mill test certificates confirming not tempered or treated; common pitfall is incomplete heat analysis documentation
• Declare coil weight accurately as rust discoloration before entry receives no duty allowance per chapter note
