Import Tips
• Provide detailed alloy grade certification (e.g
• ASTM A240) proving ferritic stainless with <8% Ni compliance
• Measure and document exact maximum cross-sectional dimension to confirm >152.4 mm threshold
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as hot-rolled if cold-finished, which affects value declaration
