Import Tips
• Provide ASTM A53 certification; customs often requires proof of seamless vs. welded to uphold 7304 classification
• Avoid common error of declaring wall thickness over 12.7 mm—measure at thinnest point for accurate subheading
• For structural use, note end-use in entry summary to qualify for potential duty reductions under trade agreements
