Import Tips

Verify wall thickness with caliper measurements and include test certificates in documentation to confirm <1.65 mm for HTS 7306.40.10 classification

Provide mill test reports (MTRs) certifying 304 stainless steel composition to avoid reclassification as non-stainless steel under 7306.30

Ensure proper labeling of welded vs. seamless construction; customs may inspect welds visually or via X-ray
