Import Tips
• Include surface finish certification; polishing qualifies as 'further worked' but stays in 7219.90.00 unless cladding present
• Verify austenitic grade via chemical analysis to prevent misclassification to ferritic/martensitic subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as hot-rolled; polished finish indicates cold-rolling processing
