17-4PH Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel Ingots from Germany
Ingots of 17-4PH precipitation hardening stainless steel, produced by argon-oxygen decarburization, intended for subsequent forging or rolling into valve and pump components. Although the chromium content exceeds 10.5%, the definition of stainless steel in Chapter Note 1(e) is met, but as primary forms, they fall under heading 72.24 for other alloy steel in ingots.

Import Tips
• Ensure the ingots are classified as primary forms, not semi-finished, by confirming they have not been further worked than cast
• Have mill test certificates showing chemical composition to support the alloy steel classification
• Check if the goods qualify for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement, as rates may be reduced
