Import Tips
• Verify stainless steel grade (e.g
• 304/316) via mill test certificates to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to non-stainless headings
• Ensure wall thickness documentation under 1.65 mm; common pitfall is mismeasurement leading to higher-duty thicker wall categories
• For medical end-use, prepare FDA registration docs early to prevent customs holds
