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
