Structural Steel for United States projects, made in India

What it takes to land structural steel on a United States site: the port they clear through, the standards a consultant will hold them to, and the paperwork that has to travel with them.

01Route and compliance

Getting structural steel into United States

American buyers rarely doubt Indian capacity. They doubt whether the paperwork survives an ASTM review, which is a fair doubt, because plenty of it does not. We galvanize to ASTM A123 and ship the mill test certificates with the container, so the check happens on your desk instead of on trust.

Port of entry

Port of Houston, TX

Also cleared through Port of Los Angeles / Long Beach, CA, Port of Newark, NJ.

Shipped FOB, CIF, CFR.

06Questions buyers ask

Structural Steel into United States — the questions that come up

Answered by the people who make the product, not a sales desk.

Standard built-up sections and brackets typically run 6 to 8 weeks from drawing approval to shipment, depending on total tonnage and welding complexity; heavy plate girders or large project quantities extend this further. Structural drawing approval is usually the critical-path item, so get this finalized early in project planning.

Hot-dip galvanizing suits outdoor, long-service structures where decades of maintenance-free corrosion protection matters most. Epoxy/PU painting is common where a specific safety colour code is required, for indoor structures, or where the structure's size exceeds practical galvanizing bath dimensions, very large plate girders sometimes fall into this category. Confirm your galvanizing bath size constraints against your largest fabricated piece early in design.

Ask for their welding procedure qualification records, crane or handling capacity for heavy pieces, and a reference project of comparable scale and complexity. Find out whether cutting, forming and welding are all in-house. A fabricator who subcontracts heavy welding to unknown third parties can't guarantee consistent quality across your order.

Yes. Building to IS 800/IS 2062 is standard for Indian fabricators, who can also reference EN 1090, the European structural steelwork execution standard, or AWS D1.1, the American welding code, for export projects. Confirm which code governs your project's design and specify it explicitly in the enquiry.

Plate UT before fabrication, fit-up checks before welding, visual on every weld, MPI/UT on critical welds (to the project's NDE schedule), galvanizing thickness on every member, and dimensional check before painting. Reports are batch-linked.
