Import Tips
• Certify tool steel composition per U.S
• Note (e) showing >1.2% carbon and >10.5% chromium to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test reports confirming cold-finished state and no further working like polishing or coating
• Declare exact cross-sectional dimension; bars under 18 mm shift to different subheading
