A supplier’s description of “steel” or “aluminum” does not identify every applicable tariff.

Steel & aluminum imports
Understand the article, its material and its production history.
Two products made from the same metal can have different entry requirements. Kartash reviews the article’s use and construction alongside origin and production facts, then checks the applicable tariff and trade-remedy provisions.
How Kartash helps
- Classification review for metal articles and downstream products.
- Section 232 and Chapter 99 review based on current scope and shipment facts.
- Separate AD/CVD screening with attention to written order scope.
- Coordination of mill records, production details and agency questions.
Have these details ready
- Detailed commercial invoice, drawings, photographs and intended use.
- Material composition, dimensions and product specifications.
- Country of origin and relevant melt/pour, smelt/cast or production records.
- Metal content, weights and value records where the applicable provision requires them.
What to check early
Preferential treatment, content-based programs and other exceptions require evidence; they should not be assumed from an HTS code.
AD/CVD is separate from Section 232. A classification reference is a screening clue, not a legal scope conclusion.
