Import Tips
• Submit mill test reports detailing exact Cr/Ni composition to substantiate <8% nickel classification
• Confirm irregularly wound coil packaging; straight lengths classify under different headings like 7222.11
• Monitor for high-strength steel criteria per US Note (a)—may affect quotas or special provisions
