Import Tips
• Certify exact thickness and width measurements to confirm <0.25mm and <300mm; provide mill test certificate verifying stainless steel composition per HTS chapter notes
• Avoid misclassification as further worked if any polishing is detected
• Declare precise alloy grade (e.g
• 301) to prevent reclassification
