Import Tips & Compliance

Specify low-temperature impact testing (e.g

-196°C Charpy) to validate LNG service and tariff positioning

For EPC projects, ensure pipe matches P&ID specifications to avoid project delays from reclassification

Check Section 232 tariffs on steel derivatives; stainless line pipe often qualifies for exclusions
