Import Tips
• Verify nickel purity exceeds 99% with mill test certificates to confirm non-alloyed status and avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed manufacturing process documentation proving no cold-forming to comply with HTS 7505.11.30.00 specificity
• Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect dimension reporting, which can trigger audits; measure in metric for CBP consistency
