Import Tips
• Include EN/ISO or ASTM material specs showing tool steel compliance; A2's Cr content critical for heading 7228.50.10
• Avoid phosphatizing or other chemical treatments pre-import; these count as further worked per chapter notes
• Cross-check milling depth; excessive removal may imply hot-rolled base, affecting value declarations
