Import Tips
• Verify exact dimensions and width-to-thickness ratio at entry to confirm 7218.91.00.60 classification; measure uncoiled width precisely
• Provide mill test certificate confirming stainless steel composition (min 10.5% chromium) and austenitic grade like 304
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims as Chapter 72 notes deny duty reductions for pre-entry surface damage
