Import Tips & Compliance

D2 qualifies as tool steel (>10.5% Cr, >1.2% C); critical cert needed vs general stainless

Surface must show cold-finished matte appearance, no bright polish or Chapter note 'further worked' treatments

Declare intended use optional but helpful; tool steel often scrutinized for correct heading
