Import Tips
• Provide certification at entry confirming use in razor blade manufacture per U.S
• Note (d) to qualify for this subheading
• Verify exact thickness ≤0.25 mm and width <300 mm with mill test certificates to prevent measurement disputes
• Avoid any plating, coating, or further working like polishing, as these shift classification to later headings
