Import Tips

Verify seamless construction via mill test reports (MTRs) to avoid misclassification as welded under Chapter 73 heading 7306

Include chemical composition certification proving stainless steel (min 10.5% chromium) for duty-free eligibility under certain FTAs

Label outer diameter, wall thickness, and grade clearly to prevent customs disputes on 'circular cross section' specs
