Import Tips
• Verify seamless construction via mill test certificates to avoid misclassification as welded under Chapter 73 headings like 7306
• Include chemical composition reports confirming nonalloy steel status to distinguish from alloy steel in 7304.39
• Measure wall thickness and dimensions precisely; tubes ≤0.8mm wall may shift to other subheadings
