Import Tips
• Verify galvanization certification and wall thickness measurements to confirm HTS 7306.30.50.85 classification; non-galvanized shifts to 7306.30.5025
• Include mill test reports showing nonalloy steel composition and weld quality to avoid reclassification as seamless under 7304
• Check for attached fittings; if sold as complete post sets with caps, consider 7326 for assembled articles
