Import Tips & Compliance

Submit PSL2 quality level documentation, including traceability records, to distinguish from lower-grade pipes

Ensure anti-corrosion coating specs (if applied) are noted, but verify coating doesn't trigger separate classification

Pre-clear with CBP on country-of-melt requirements for critical pipeline materials under Buy America provisions
