Import Tips
• Include chemical analysis certificate showing 316L composition (16-18% Cr, 10-14% Ni, 2-3% Mo) for CBP verification
• Declare as hot-rolled semi-finished; cold-rolled versions require different HTS in 7219
• Ensure no 'further worked' surface treatments (polishing, coating) per chapter note, or reclassify to 7222.30
