Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates verifying nickel content (8-24%) and stainless steel composition to avoid reclassification
• Measure and document exact maximum circular cross-sectional dimension to confirm >152.4mm threshold
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as hot-rolled; cold-finished surface finish determines heading 7222 classification
