Import Tips
• Verify the steel is nonalloy (less than 10% alloying elements) via mill test certificates to avoid reclassification
• Ensure threading specifications match US standards (e.g
• NPT) to comply with plumbing codes and prevent customs holds
• Declare exact dimensions and galvanization process; anti-dumping duties may apply to certain galvanized steel products from specific countries
