Import Tips

• Certify chemical composition at entry to confirm tool steel status per U.S. note (e), avoiding reclassification as generic alloy steel

• Provide mill test certificates documenting carbon >1.2% and chromium >10.5% to prevent customs disputes

• Avoid surface treatments like coating that could shift to 'further worked' categories in other subheadings
