Import Tips

Verify API 5L certification and mill test reports (MTRs) for compliance with pipeline standards; U.S. buyers often require these for DOT approval

Ensure accurate diameter measurement and seamless confirmation via NDT reports to avoid misclassification to welded pipes in 7305

Label with stainless steel grade (e.g

304/316) and provide country-of-melt documentation to meet Buy America provisions for infrastructure projects
