Grade 304 stainless steel flat-rolled plate with a polished No.4 finish, width over 600 mm and thickness 3-6 mm.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Clearly state the No.4 finish and the fact that the plate has been polished after rolling, as this distinguishes it from hot-rolled or cold-rolled only products
• Include the thickness and width on the packing list to confirm it qualifies as flat-rolled
• If the plate has been cut to shape, verify it has not become an article of another heading
