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
