Import Tips
• Verify seamless construction via mill test certificates; welded pipes classify under 7304.41+
• Confirm API 5CT certification for oilfield casing to meet industry standards and avoid reclassification
• Document outside diameter precisely (11.25-16 inches) and wall thickness to ensure subheading compliance
