Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming stainless steel composition and cross-sectional dimensions to verify classification
• Ensure documentation specifies circular cross-section and area calculation to avoid reclassification to larger area subheadings
• Watch for 'further worked' treatments like polishing which shift to 7222.30; import in as-rolled condition
