Import Tips

Verify exact wall thickness and OD/ID dimensions with caliper measurements to confirm classification over 1.65 mm threshold

Provide mill test certificates (MTC) certifying stainless steel grade and cold-forming process to avoid reclassification

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as seamless, which shifts to 7304; ensure documentation specifies welded construction
