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
