Import Tips
• Certify minimum 13% chromium content via wet chemistry analysis for stainless steel classification
• Include DWV (Drift & Wall) inspection reports; critical for large OD conductor casing acceptance
• Pre-clear with customs via binding ruling if using proprietary connections not listed in API 5CT
