Import Tips
• Distinguish from stainless chapter 72 note exclusions; certify Cr content doesn't meet razor blade steel note 1(d)
• Inspect for rust/discoloration; no duty allowance per chapter note even if pre-entry damage
• Use correct statistical suffix .6030 for <14mm circular; mismeasurement leads to audits
