Import Tips
• Verify seamless construction via mill test certificates to avoid misclassification as welded products under 7306
• Include chemical composition analysis confirming nonalloy steel (max 0.3% alloying elements) for customs compliance
• Label with exact dimensions and cold-forming process to prevent disputes over 'hollow bar' vs. tube definitions
