Import Tips
• Verify stainless steel composition meets chapter definitions; provide mill test certificates confirming alloy grade
• Measure width precisely before entry as <600 mm determines heading 7220 vs 7219; common pitfall is mismeasurement
• Ensure not 'further worked' per chapter note (no polishing, coating); if coated, reclassify under different subheading
