Import Tips
• Include end-use statement if for automotive; however, classification is based on objective characteristics, not declared use
• Avoid surface contaminants like oil residue that could be interpreted as 'further worked' chemical treatment
• Batch test for chromium content uniformity, as variations could trigger reclassification across subheadings
