Import Tips
• Include duplex stainless certification and PREN value documentation to support superior corrosion resistance claims
• Verify extrusion process documentation; hot-extruded qualifies but cold-finished does not for this heading
• Avoid minor surface cleaning operations that could be interpreted as 'chemical surface treatment' per Chapter notes
