• Certify nickel content exceeds 60% with lab analysis to distinguish from standard stainless or other alloys
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'not further worked than hot-rolled' to match tariff description exactly
• Watch for partial damage claims; no duty reduction for rust per chapter notes
