Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis reports matching note (h) elements; GCr15 typically qualifies but needs verification
• Declare exact cold-rolling process; hot-rolled would classify under 7228.40
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as 'stainless' which shifts to Chapter 72 stainless headings
