Import Tips

Certify exact alloy composition (e.g

Cr-Ni content) via mill test certificate to confirm alloy steel classification excluding tool/heat-resisting types

Measure and document wire diameter precisely (1.0-1.5 mm range) as statistical suffix determines duty; avoid rounding errors

Ensure no 'further worked' treatments like coating per Chapter 72 notes, or reclassify to 7229.90.60
