Import Tips
• Provide chemical analysis reports confirming 316L molybdenum content to distinguish from basic stainless and prevent misclassification
• Declare tensile strength if over high-strength thresholds (note a), as it could shift to different steel categories
• Avoid rust/discoloration claims per chapter note; inspect upon arrival and document condition at entry
