Import Tips
• Submit heat analysis reports confirming chromium >10.5% for stainless status and nickel <8%
• Label shipments clearly distinguishing bars/rods from angles/shapes to prevent CBP reclassification
• Check for Section 232 tariffs on steel; low-nickel grades may qualify for exemptions with proper docs
