Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify API 5CT certification and exact grade (e.g

• L-80 13Cr) matches invoice to avoid reclassification

• Include mill test certificates (MTC) showing stainless steel chemistry and seamless process

• Confirm outside diameter measurement between 285.8-406.4mm; slight deviations may shift to adjacent subheadings
