Import Tips
• Document duplex microstructure (ferritic-austenitic balance) via ferritscope readings to confirm stainless steel per Chapter 72 definitions
• Ensure no 'further worked' treatments like coating have been applied, as that would shift to headings 7219+ for worked products
• Prepare for potential AD/CVD scrutiny on large stainless semi-finished imports from certain origins
