Import Tips
• Use calipers for thickness verification; even slight variations near 1.25 mm boundary trigger reclassification
• Declare as 'not further worked' explicitly—any visual polish appearance requires proof of cold-rolling origin
• Segregate by grade; mixing 304/410 in same container complicates alloy verification during entry
