Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates detailing alloy content to customs for accurate HTS verification
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as carbon steel; highlight silico-manganese specs in entry docs
• Declare exact dimensions and confirm no cold reduction to stay in not cold-formed category
