Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying Ni >0.5% and Mo 1.5-5% content to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to lower molybdenum subheadings
• Ensure dimensions are documented (width >1880 mm, thickness 4.75-10 mm) with no evidence of further working like polishing or coating
