Import Tips
• Verify threading specifications (NPT, BSP) match US standards to avoid customs reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates confirming steel composition and galvanization for duty-free claims under certain FTAs
• Label as 'threaded pipe sleeve' clearly; mislabeling as elbow can trigger audits
