Import Tips
• Provide API 5CT certification and material test certificates (MTC) confirming alloy steel composition and mechanical properties
• Wall thickness must be precisely measured and documented; customs may require ultrasonic testing verification
• Include end-user declaration specifying oil/gas drilling application to avoid reclassification as general tubing
