Import Tips
• Declare exact C and Cr percentages; discrepancies can trigger reclassification or penalties under GRI rules
• Use ISRI scrap specifications or equivalent for purity standards to prevent contamination claims
• Obtain origin certificates as many ferroalloys face AD/CVD duties from specific countries like China or Kazakhstan
