Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying Ni (0.5-24%) and Mo (1.5-5%) content to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact thickness (<0.5 mm) and width (≥600 mm) with precise measurements to match subheading
• Avoid claims for rust/discoloration allowances per Chapter 72 note; inspect coils upon arrival
