Import Tips
• Use certified material test reports (CMTRs) to prove nickel percentage; Nitronic alloys must be analytically verified
• Confirm non-circular cross-sections are excluded; only perfectly round profiles qualify for this circular subheading
• Beware of bulk packaging vs retail; retail-packed bars may face different valuation but same classification
