Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis reports verifying <15% Cr and martensitic structure to prevent misclassification as austenitic grades
• Ensure no heat treatment beyond cold-rolling; annealing may trigger 'further worked' rules
• Label coils properly to distinguish from hot-rolled products under 7219, avoiding common duty errors
