Import Tips
• Obtain ASTM A312 or A554 certification specifying welded construction and stainless grade to avoid reclassification as seamless
• Check for anti-dumping/countervailing duties (AD/CVD) on 316L pipes from producers in Taiwan, South Korea, or Vietnam
• Document exact wall thickness measurement method (ultrasonic) to prevent customs disputes over 1.65 mm threshold
