Import Tips
• Submit chemical composition analysis verifying <15% Cr to prevent misclassification as austenitic stainless
• Avoid any post-rolling treatments; even light oiling may be scrutinized as chemical surface treatment
• Use precise gauge measurements for thickness to match 'exceeding 1.25 mm' criterion exactly
