Import Tips
• Verify steel composition meets ASTM A572 or equivalent standards; provide mill test certificates for customs valuation
• Ensure markings for traceability; drilled or punched variants still classify here if primarily sheet piling
• Avoid misclassification as structural sections by confirming interlocking design for piling use
