Import Tips
• Include marine certification docs showing cladding for corrosion resistance; avoids disputes over 'not alloyed' status
• Measure thickness precisely post-cladding; common error is undervaluing as ≤0.2mm product
• Check for anti-dumping duties on clad marine plates from certain exporters
