Import Tips
• Label for automotive end-use but classify by material/form, not application—avoid industrial vs retail end-use confusion
• Ensure no embossing/ribs that could qualify as concrete reinforcing patterns under note (c)
• Batch certificates must trace back to stainless melt to prevent alloy disputes
