Import Tips
• Submit entry documents with end-use certification specifying razor blade application to comply with U.S. note (d)
• Measure width and thickness precisely post-cold-rolling; tolerances can trigger reclassification
• Retain chemical analysis certificates proving Cr ≤14.7% to distinguish from higher chromium stainless grades
