Import Tips
• Verify stainless steel grade certification (e.g
• AISI 304) and chemical composition via mill test reports to confirm classification under stainless steel headings
• Ensure dimensions and cross-section qualify as 'bars and rods' (not exceeding certain sizes for sections) and are not further worked per Chapter 72 notes
