Import Tips
• Certify exact chemical composition at entry to meet U.S. note (e) tool steel definition (e.g
• >1.2% C, >10.5% Cr for D2)
• Provide mill test certificates showing alloy content; CBP may require verification to avoid reclassification
• Watch coil weight limits and ensure 'irregularly wound' documentation matches physical form to prevent disputes
