Import Tips

• Provide mill test certificates verifying nickel content (8-24% by weight) and exact diameter under 14 mm to avoid reclassification

• Ensure documentation confirms hot-rolled in irregularly wound coils, not straightened or further worked per Chapter 72 notes

• Watch for common pitfalls like rust/discoloration; no duty allowance per U.S. note, so inspect prior to entry
