316L Stainless Steel Annealed Sheet from China
Low-carbon 316L stainless steel sheet, fully annealed and pickled, width 1200 mm, thickness 1.5 mm. HTS 7219.90.00 covers this as 'other' flat-rolled stainless steel not matching coil/not annealed cold-rolled or hot-rolled exclusions. The annealing process softens the material for marine and chemical applications.

Import Tips
• Submit heat treatment records proving annealing/pickling to confirm not 'not annealed' under 7219.12
• Label molybdenum content for 316L verification; affects corrosion resistance claims and classification
• Check for discoloration/rust allowances per Chapter 72 notes—no duty reduction for pre-entry surface issues
