Import Tips & Compliance

Specify 'guide rolls' vs 'work rolls' in documentation; generic 'mill rolls' often leads to valuation disputes

Provide foundry test certificates showing chilled surface hardness for proper material classification

Avoid bulk packaging that resembles scrap metal shipments to prevent inspection delays
