Import Tips
• High-nickel super-austenitics need precise spectrographic analysis for customs; retain for 5 years
• Avoid oil-coated bars if coating constitutes 'further worked' per Chapter definition (nonmetallic coating)
• Segregate from razor blade or ball-bearing steel grades defined in US Notes (d) and (h)
