Import Tips
• Verify exact thickness measurement exceeds 10 mm and width is 600 mm or more using certified mill test reports to confirm HTS 7219.11.00 classification
• Ensure documentation proves no further working (e.g
• no polishing, coating); stainless steel composition must meet Chapter 72 definitions
• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as cold-rolled (7209) or thinner gauges; rust prior to entry doesn't reduce duties per Chapter notes
