Import Tips
• Include material safety data sheets specifying molybdenum content for 316L to prevent reclassification as basic 304 stainless
• Verify no artificial oxidation or phosphatizing occurred—such 'further working' per chapter notes shifts to 7219.34
• Use precise gauging; borderline thicknesses often trigger CBP examination
