Import Tips

Verify API 5CT certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm seamless stainless steel composition and compliance with oilfield standards

Ensure accurate measurement of outside diameter to avoid misclassification; common pitfall is confusing with welded pipes under Chapter 73 headings

Declare end-use as oil/gas drilling explicitly to prevent reclassification as general mechanical tubing
