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
