Import Tips
• Obtain mill test certificates verifying stainless steel composition, especially nickel (0.5-24%) and chromium content to confirm HTS 7220.90.0015 classification
• Ensure accurate width measurement (<600 mm) and declare as 'not further worked' if only basic hot/cold-rolled; polished strips may shift to 7220.11 or 7220.12
• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying as tool steel if alloy exceeds chapter note (e) limits; standard 304 grade stays here
