Hot-Rolled 316L Stainless Steel Plate 6mm Thick from Germany

This is a flat-rolled stainless steel plate made from 316L grade alloy, featuring approximately 2% molybdenum and 10-12% nickel content, with a thickness of 6 mm and width of 1500 mm. It is not further worked beyond hot-rolling and not in coils, fitting HTS 7219.22.0015 due to its specific composition exceeding 0.5% nickel and 1.5-5% molybdenum, thickness between 4.75-10 mm, and width not exceeding 1575 mm. Commonly used in chemical processing equipment for corrosion resistance.

Import Tips

Provide mill test certificates confirming nickel >0.5% and molybdenum 1.5-5% by weight to verify classification under 7219.22.0015

Declare exact thickness (4.75-10 mm) and width (≤1575 mm) on entry documents; mismatches can lead to reclassification

Avoid claims for rust discoloration as no duty reduction is allowed per Chapter 72 notes
