Import Tips
• Certify exact thickness (3-4.75mm) and width (1370mm+) with mill test reports to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no 'further working' like polishing or coating per Chapter 72 notes, or it shifts to 7219.90
• Verify stainless steel composition meets AISI standards; provide chemical analysis to CBP upon request
