Import Tips
• Verify stainless steel grade (e.g
• 304 or 316) via material certificates to confirm classification under stainless steel subheading
• Ensure threading matches international standards like ISO 4032 to avoid reclassification as non-standard fittings
• Provide mill test reports for customs to prevent duties shifting to general steel nuts
