A353 Grade Ni-Ni Alloy Steel Plate for Low-Temperature Service from Japan
ASTM A353 nickel-alloyed steel plate (9% nickel) over 600 mm wide for cryogenic applications like LNG tanks. HTS 7225.99.0090 covers this as other flat-rolled alloy steel not fitting tool steel, electrical, or other specific categories. High nickel qualifies as alloy steel.

Import Tips
• Critical nickel content certification required; test reports must show ≥8.5% Ni
• Distinguish from stainless (Chapter 72 note excludes >10.5% Cr)
• Confirm hot-rolled condition; normalized/tempered doesn't count as further working
