Import Tips
• Verify material certification (e.g
• ASTM A213 TP316L) to confirm suitability for boilers and avoid misclassification
• Include hydrostatic test reports and dimensional specs in documentation to prove cold-drawn seamless construction
• Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect diameter measurement exceeding cold-formed limits, leading to reclassification
