Import Tips
• Ensure the rod is not further worked beyond hot-drawing (e.g
• no cold-working, polishing, or coating)
• Provide a mill certificate showing the 409 grade composition (chromium ≥10.5%, low nickel) to support classification
• Verify the MFN duty rate and check if preferential rates apply under free trade agreements
