Certify exact nickel content at entry to confirm <8% threshold per U.S

Chapter 72 notes; provide mill test certificates showing composition and cold-finishing process

Avoid misclassification by verifying no further working like polishing

Watch for partial rust allowances prohibited under Chapter notes
