Import Tips
• Certify exact thickness, width, and stainless steel grade (e.g
• AISI 304) via mill test reports to match 7219.21.00.40 specs
• Ensure no further working like polishing or coating; declare as hot-rolled only to avoid reclassification
• Watch for rust/discoloration—no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes; inspect upon arrival
