Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Verify the cold-forming process certification to distinguish from hot-rolled bars under 7222.11

โ€ข Provide mill test reports confirming stainless steel composition and no further working like coating

โ€ข Avoid misclassification as tool steel if alloy elements exceed definitions in Chapter 72 notes
