Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates confirming alloy composition to verify classification under 'other alloy steel' and avoid reclassification as tool steel

Ensure documentation specifies hot-rolled or forged production method to distinguish from cold-formed products under different subheadings

Check for minimum alloying elements (e.g

chromium >0.9%, molybdenum) as per HTS Chapter 72 definitions to prevent misclassification
