Import Tips
• Include detailed specifications showing HWDP design features like upset ends and premium connections for customs verification
• Provide evidence of use in drilling operations (e.g
• purchase orders from drilling contractors) to distinguish from casing/tubing
• Avoid misclassification by confirming seamless manufacture; welded HWDP would go to different headings
