AL-6XN Stainless Steel Plate from Japan
AL-6XN is a super-austenitic stainless steel plate containing about 3-4% molybdenum and 1.5% nickel, supplied in widths exceeding 600 mm. Its high molybdenum content gives exceptional resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion, making it suitable for severe chemical and marine environments. As a flat-rolled stainless steel product over 600 mm wide, not further worked than rolled, it falls under tariff item 7219.90.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the plate's width exceeds 600 mm and that it is not further worked beyond rolling, as additional processing may change classification
• Provide a mill test certificate with the chemical composition to verify the molybdenum and nickel content for the CBSA
• Confirm whether the product qualifies for preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement, as this can reduce the MFN duty rate
