Import Tips
• Provide FDA-compliant documentation for medical end-use; include chemical analysis confirming 316L specs
• Measure diameter precisely with calibrated tools; even slight overage reclassifies to larger size subheading
• Segregate from bulk shipments to prevent contamination claims during customs inspection
