Import Tips
• Certify exact chemical composition (min 10.5% chromium) and cross-sectional measurements to confirm stainless steel classification
• Provide mill test certificates showing no 'further working' like polishing or coating per Chapter 72 notes
• Avoid misclassification as bars (72.21) by documenting semi-finished state and primary form intended for further processing
