Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming stainless steel composition and flat rectangular cross-section to avoid reclassification as bars
• Declare precise width and thickness measurements; products exceeding certain limits may shift to flat-rolled HTS headings
• Ensure no further surface treatments like coating that would classify under 'further worked' provisions
