Import Tips

• Obtain material test reports (MTRs) certifying alloy composition (e.g

• 316 stainless) and seamless production to avoid reclassification as welded

• For medical applications, ensure FDA compliance and provide end-use certificates; common pitfall is incorrect diameter measurement leading to 'wire' vs tube disputes

• Declare exact cold-forming process; cold-rolled finish must be documented to qualify under this subheading
