Import Tips

Certify exact thickness and width measurements to confirm classification; plates under 4.75 mm shift to 7219.32

Provide mill test certificates verifying stainless steel composition and cold-rolled status to avoid further-worked reclassification

Avoid surface treatments like polishing or coating, as these qualify as 'further worked' under Chapter 72 notes, moving to 7219.90
