Import Tips
• Include PH condition certification (H900/H1150) and composition analysis for Customs verification
• Document non-'further worked' status (no polishing/coating) to stay in 7222.30 rather than 7222.40
• Beware antidumping duties on certain stainless from specific countries; check Commerce scope rulings
