Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis reports confirming 8-24% nickel and stainless steel status to CBP for smooth clearance
• Declare exact cross-sectional diameter; mismeasurement can lead to 7221.00.00.15 classification
• Avoid packaging that suggests further working (e.g
• polished); classify as imported per Chapter notes
