• Confirm the external diameter exceeds 406.4 mm and the weld is longitudinal for classification under 7305.31.00
• Provide specifications showing the alloy steel grade and any concrete-filling capabilities
• Be aware that if the pipe is presented with the cable as a set, classification may change under the General Interpretative Rules
