Import Tips & Compliance

Confirm collapse and burst pressure ratings in documentation to prove drilling end-use

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'general steel tube'; specify 'casing for oil/gas drilling'

Use licensed customs brokers familiar with API steel products for accurate entry filing
