Import Tips
• Include heat analysis reports verifying molybdenum content for Type 316L and exact dimensions for area calculation
• Declare as 'semi-finished' with evidence of intended further working to avoid bar/rod classification
• Watch for rust/discoloration claims - no duty allowance per Chapter 72 note on iron/steel articles
