Import Tips

Obtain mill test certificates verifying chromium content below 15% by weight to avoid reclassification into higher chromium subheadings

Ensure precise width measurement documentation as products exactly at 600mm shift to HTS 7219

Declare cold-rolled status accurately; any polishing or coating constitutes 'further worked' under Chapter 72 notes, moving to 7220.40
