Import Tips
• Verify alloy steel composition via mill test certificates to confirm classification under 7305.90.50.00 and avoid misclassification as carbon steel
• Measure external diameter precisely and document it exceeds 406.4 mm; provide engineering drawings if challenged by customs
• Ensure proper marking of country of origin and steel grade to comply with Buy America or similar regulations for infrastructure projects
