Import Tips

Verify steel composition meets Chapter 73 requirements and obtain mill test certificates for customs valuation

Ensure frames are not part of complete prefabricated buildings to avoid reclassification under 9406

Label with country of origin and structural specs; common pitfall is missing anti-dumping duties on certain steel imports
