Import Tips

Verify API 5L certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm alloy steel composition and seamless manufacturing process

Ensure proper documentation of external diameter and wall thickness to match line pipe specifications and avoid misclassification as casing

Comply with API standards and pressure ratings to prevent customs disputes on end-use for oil/gas pipelines
