Import Tips
• Include hydrostatic test certificates to validate pressure ratings for customs verification
• Differentiate from tubing by specifying 'casing' use; mislabeling as 'tubing' risks 7304.29.20
• Comply with country-of-melt requirements; trace steel origin to origin country for duty calculation
