Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming stainless steel composition (min 10.5% chromium) to avoid reclassification as carbon steel
• Ensure documentation specifies 'not further worked' status; any polishing triggers Chapter 72 further-worked provisions
• Verify dimensions exceed ingot definitions to prevent misclassification under 7218.10
