Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming stainless steel composition, nickel content >0.5%, and exact thickness/width measurements to avoid misclassification
• Ensure product is truly 'not further worked' - no polishing, coating, or cladding per Chapter 72 note, as this shifts to 7219.12 or 7219.90
