Import Tips
• Document the nickel content (32-38%) with a mill test certificate to support the high-nickel classification
• Verify the flat rod's dimensions meet the Chapter 72 definition (thickness not exceeding one-tenth of width for flat-rolled, but for bars, thickness exceeds one-tenth of width)
• Ensure the product is not further worked into articles, which would move it out of Chapter 72
