Import Tips
• Include mechanical test certificates verifying minimum yield point per U.S. note (a) high-strength steel definition
• No duty allowance for rust/discoloration per chapter note; ensure proper packaging to avoid entry issues
• Label dimensions clearly to confirm <76 mm max cross-section for this statistical suffix
