Import Tips
• Verify alloy certification with mill test reports showing exact Mo (1.5-5%) and Ni (>0.5%) content to avoid reclassification
• Ensure wall thickness documentation under 1.65 mm; common pitfall is mismeasurement leading to higher tariff bins
• For medical use, prepare FDA import alerts and biocompatibility docs alongside HTS paperwork
