Import Tips
• Certify 304 or 316L stainless steel grade with mill test reports to meet food safety import requirements
• Use descriptive packaging labels like 'For Dairy Milking Teat Cups' to prevent general metalware classification
• Prepare for potential AD/CVD duties on Chinese stainless if applicable; check HTS updates regularly
