Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates confirming stainless steel composition (e.g

18% chromium, 8% nickel for 304 grade) and exact thickness to verify HTS classification

Declare as 'not annealed or not pickled' with surface condition evidence; misclassification to annealed products (7219.13) can trigger audits

Ensure coil weight and dimensions match entry docs; stainless steel imports require proper origin certification under Section 232 if applicable
