Import Tips
• Certify exact alloy grade and chromium percentage at entry; Type 409 typically 10.5-11.75% Cr qualifies under this subheading
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'further worked' if only cold-rolled—check for any coatings which would shift to 7219.90
• Include dimensional specs (thickness gauge reports) to confirm <0.5 mm and coil form
