Electroslag Remelted 316L Stainless Steel Round Bar from Mexico
A 316L stainless steel bar produced via electroslag remelting with a circular cross-section, not further worked beyond hot-rolling. This specialty remelting process refines the microstructure for superior cleanliness and uniformity, classifying it under HTS 7222.11.00.01 due to the specific electroslag method and stainless steel composition.

Import Tips
• Certify electroslag remelting process with mill test reports to avoid reclassification as standard hot-rolled bars
• Provide chemical composition analysis confirming stainless steel alloy per chapter note definitions
• Ensure circular cross-section measurement documentation; common pitfall is mismeasuring as non-circular shapes
