Import Tips

Certify exact chemical composition including nickel >0.5% and chromium content via mill test certificate to confirm stainless steel classification

Measure and document width (<300 mm) and thickness (0.25-1.25 mm) precisely, as exceeding limits shifts to adjacent subheadings

Avoid claims for rust/discoloration allowances per Chapter 72 notes; ensure proper packaging to prevent surface issues before entry
