Most of the pipe I receive on job sites are almost all from overseas. Unless it is special order, seamless, heat treated for high pressure applications, most of it is from Thailand and Malaysia. Same goes for most weld fittings. Most employers refuse to buy weld bend products which are American made products because they cost to much. But we spend 20 minutes on a 12 inch weld 90 from Malaysia trying to face it so it is square. Its bad out there. When I worked on the Great Lakes Navel Base, they refused anything that had a import stamp on it, that was good to see. I watched truckloads of pipe driven from Texas get refused and sent back.
