Import Tips
• Verify galvanization method (hot-dip preferred) and measure wall thickness precisely to confirm HTS 7306.30.50.33 classification; thinner walls shift to other subheadings
• Provide mill test certificates showing non-alloy steel composition and welding process to avoid reclassification as seamless under 7304
