Import Tips & Compliance

Provide engineering specs showing adjustable height range (e.g

8-12 ft) to confirm propping function

Include safe working load (SWL) certification to avoid scrutiny as unfinished steel tubes

Check for anti-corrosion coatings; declare if painted to prevent duty adjustments
