Import Tips
• Provide mill test certificate confirming alloy steel composition excluding stainless steel elements per Chapter 72 notes
• Measure thickness precisely as under 4.75 mm determines this subheading; over shifts to 7225.40.30
• Ensure no 'further worked' treatments like polishing or coating per Chapter 72 definition to avoid reclassification
