Import Tips
• Certify molybdenum content for Type 316 to distinguish from other stainless grades during customs examination
• Ensure product is free of coatings or cladding, as 'further worked' treatments per Chapter notes reclassify to 7220
• Use precise gauge measurements to avoid misclassification into thinner cold-rolled subheadings
