Import Tips

• Verify nickel content via certified mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm <8% for this subheading; exceedance shifts to other nickel-bearing categories

• Ensure proper documentation of hot-rolled condition and coil form; cold-drawn equivalents require different HTS classification

• Avoid common pitfalls like rust discoloration claims—no duty allowance per Chapter 72 notes
