Import Tips
• Include vacuum arc remelting certification; CBP may request process verification to confirm subheading
• Label with exact alloy designation (e.g
• 17-4 PH) matching stainless steel chapter definitions
• Avoid common error of declaring as tool steel if elements exceed chapter note (e) thresholds
