Import Tips
• Verify cold-forming certification from manufacturer to distinguish from hot-rolled under 7506.10.20.00
• Include mill test reports confirming purity >99% nickel (non-alloyed) to avoid reclassification
• Check for anti-dumping duties if sourced from specific countries like China; use CBP Form 7501 accurately
