Import Tips
• Verify mill test certificates confirming seamless production and chemical composition per ASTM A106 to avoid misclassification as welded
• Ensure documentation proves suitability for boilers via engineering specs; common pitfall is lacking pressure rating proof
• Label with exact OD measurement and steel grade for customs; oversized shipments may trigger additional handling fees
