Import Tips
• Verify alloy steel composition via mill test certificates to confirm classification under 7306, avoiding misclassification as carbon steel
• Ensure wall thickness documentation is precise, as under 4 mm shifts to other subheadings
• Label as 'structural tubing' not 'pipe' to prevent reclassification under pressure piping headings
