Import Tips

• Provide mill test certificate (MTC) verifying chemical composition, especially nickel >0.5% and chromium content, to confirm stainless steel classification

• Ensure accurate thickness/width measurements; products ≤600mm width shift to chapter 72 heading 7220

• Avoid claims for rust/discoloration allowances per chapter note—no duty reduction for pre-entry surface issues
