Import Tips
• Verify alloy composition meets statistical note 6 criteria with mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Ensure thickness documentation exceeds 6.3 mm; common pitfall is mismeasuring clad vs non-clad
• Obtain aerospace end-use letters if applicable for duty exemptions or quotas
