Cold-Rolled 316L Stainless Steel Plate 6mm Thick from Mexico
A flat-rolled stainless steel plate made from 316L alloy, cold-rolled to a thickness of 6 mm and width exceeding 600 mm, supplied flat without coiling. It falls under HTS 7219.31.0050 as it is not further worked beyond cold-rolling, with thickness over 4.75 mm and not in coils. Commonly used in chemical processing equipment due to its corrosion resistance.

Import Tips
• Certify exact thickness and width measurements to confirm classification; plates under 4.75 mm shift to 7219.32
• Provide mill test certificates verifying stainless steel composition and cold-rolled status to avoid further-worked reclassification
• Avoid surface treatments like polishing or coating, as these qualify as 'further worked' under Chapter 72 notes, moving to 7219.90
