Import Tips
• Declare intended end-use as furniture to preempt questions, but note classification is by form, not use
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial parts; retail-ready bundles may trigger GRI 3 set rules
• Test for alloy content (e.g
• chromium >1.5%) with spectrometry reports to confirm heading
