Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming nickel content below 8% by weight and stainless steel composition to avoid reclassification
• Ensure documentation specifies cold-formed or cold-finished state without further surface treatments like coating or polishing
• Verify exact alloy grade as 304 typically exceeds 8% nickel; common pitfall is misdeclaration leading to higher duties under 7222.20.0070
