Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificates confirming 304 stainless composition to avoid reclassification as alloy steel
• Ensure documentation specifies hot-rolled status, as cold-formed angles may shift to 7222.40
• Check for surface treatments; 'further worked' per chapter notes could move to 7222.30.50
