Import Tips
• Verify stainless steel grade certification (e.g
• ASTM A182) to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to carbon steel fittings
• Include mill test reports (MTRs) in documentation to prove material composition during customs examination
• Check for anti-dumping duties on certain stainless steel products from specific countries like China or India
