Import Tips & Compliance

Submit NDT (non-destructive testing) reports required for API 5LC to validate seamless integrity

Watch for over-diameter imports; even 0.4 mm excess moves to larger OD statistical suffix

Label clearly as 'line pipe' vs. 'drill pipe' to prevent misclassification to heading 7304.2x
