Import Tips
• Include duplex certification showing 22% Cr, 5% Ni, 3% Mo to confirm stainless steel status and PREN >40
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'tool steel' (Chapter note e); duplex grades don't meet tool steel element thresholds
• For large coils, use ISPM-15 compliant wooden supports; declare exact weight to prevent valuation disputes
