Import Tips
• Certify exact chemical composition meets U.S. note (e)(i) tool steel definition to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates showing not tempered/not treated; rust discoloration doesn't reduce duties per chapter note
• Ensure coils weigh under common shipment limits to avoid 7306 classification for structures
