Import Tips
• Certify nickel purity and cladding method (roll bond vs explosion bond) for customs verification
• Measure width in coiled or straight condition; contraction during processing doesn't change classification
• Avoid misdeclaration as stainless-clad; nickel cladding has different corrosion properties and valuation
