Import Tips
• Verify wall thickness with caliper measurements and include test certificates to confirm under 1.65 mm for correct classification
• Provide mill test reports (MTRs) proving nonalloy steel composition to avoid misclassification into alloy steel headings
• Ensure proper documentation of weld type (e.g
• ERW) and end finishes to prevent customs disputes on 'other' subcategory
