Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming chromium content below 15% and exact dimensions to avoid reclassification
• Ensure product is free of further surface treatments like polishing or coating per chapter notes to qualify as 'not further worked'
• Declare precise width and thickness measurements; discrepancies can lead to duty adjustments or penalties
