Import Tips
• Include HTS-specific alloy certification; generic stainless steel docs may not suffice for nickel/molybdenum thresholds
• Verify no 'further working' like phosphatizing per Chapter notes, which would shift to clad/plated subheadings
• Bulk imports require accurate invoicing of coil vs plate form to prevent misclassification
