Import Tips
• Include chemical analysis reports proving molybdenum content (2-3%) typical for 316L to confirm stainless status
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims at entry per Chapter 72 notes—no duty reductions allowed
• Label clearly as 'semi-finished, not further worked' to distinguish from hot-rolled products
