Import Tips
• Obtain surface finish specifications (e.g
• honed ID) documentation to support hydraulic/pneumatic end-use classification
• Ensure import invoices specify 'cold-rolled' or 'cold-reduced' process to differentiate from hot-finished tubes in 7304.21
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'tubing' without HTS; precise measurement of cross-section ≤16mm if wire-like
