Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain API 5CT certification and mill test reports (MTRs) to verify material grade and weld integrity, required for customs and end-use compliance

Declare exact stainless steel alloy (e.g

304, 316) on entry documents to avoid reclassification; provide chemical composition analysis

Check for anti-dumping duties on stainless steel from specific countries like China; use bonded warehouses for duty deferral during inspection
