Import Tips

Certify tool steel composition meets U.S. note (e) criteria (e.g

>1.2% C & >10.5% Cr for D2) with mill test reports to avoid reclassification

Document cold-finishing process (ground/milled only, no coatings) as 'further worked' treatments trigger different subheadings

Verify cross-section max dimension ≥18 mm; smaller bars shift to other statistical suffixes
