Import Tips
• Use independent lab assays if mill certs lack precise nickel quantification to prevent CBP disputes
• Document hot-rolled origin—further processing like annealing may qualify as 'further worked'
• Beware bulk vs retail packaging; no impact here but sets precedent for assembled products
