Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit certified composition reports matching note (e)(ii); CBP may test for chromium content
• Declare as 'other tool steel' explicitly; misdeclaration as generic alloy risks 7227.90.6090
• Document hot-rolled condition only—no HEA/HSLA additives that could shift to high-strength steel notes
