Import Tips
• Marine applications require corrosion resistance certification; declare exact schedule (10/40/80) for proper valuation
• Distinguish seamless vs welded construction in manufacturing docs; both classify in 7608.20.00
• Pressure-rated pipes need hydrostatic test certificates for customs verification
