Import Tips
• Provide hydrostatic test certificates proving pressure rating suitable for pipeline service to support classification
• Label pipes clearly with diameter, grade, and weld type to facilitate customs verification and avoid disputes
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain origins; check U.S
• ITC records for Chinese or other restricted steel pipe imports
