Import Tips
• Verify stainless steel composition via mill test certificate to confirm Chapter 72 classification; ensure no further working like polishing disqualifies from hot-rolled category
• Declare exact cross-sectional dimensions accurately to avoid reclassification
• Watch for rust/discoloration—no duty allowance per Chapter notes
