Import Tips

Verify mill test certificates confirm stainless steel composition and hot-rolled status without further working per Chapter 72 note on surface treatments

Measure thickness precisely under 3 mm and width 600 mm+; provide gauge documentation to avoid reclassification to cold-rolled codes

No duty allowance for rust/discoloration per Chapter 72 note; ensure proper packaging to prevent entry condition issues
