Import Tips
• Submit material test reports showing nickel ≥5% to distinguish from brass; critical for correct subheading
• Declare exact cross-sectional dimensions for statistical suffixes; uncoated verification prevents reclassification
• Watch for plating contamination during manufacturing—any metal coating shifts to 7408.22.1000
