Import Tips
• Provide duplex certification showing balanced ferrite-austenite microstructure to distinguish from standard austenitics
• Check for Section 232 tariffs on stainless steel; may require quota or additional duties beyond MFN rates
• Ensure proper coil packaging to prevent discoloration/rust, as Chapter 72 notes deny duty allowance for pre-entry damage
