Import Tips
• Provide chemical composition analysis confirming >0.5% nickel and stainless steel criteria to avoid alloy steel misclassification
• Document hot-rolling process and absence of coils; inspect for any unintended further working like artificial oxidation
• Check for rust/discoloration allowances per Chapter 72 note—no duty reduction for pre-entry damage
