7304.29.10.20/API 5CT L-80 Type 9 Casing Pipe/Germany

API 5CT L-80 Type 9 Casing Pipe from Germany

Seamless L-80 Type 9 casing pipe made from nonalloy steel, threaded and coupled, with an outside diameter of 177.8 mm and wall thickness of 14.2 mm, designed for oil and gas well drilling. It falls under HTS 7304.29.10.20 due to its seamless construction, nonalloy steel material, specific diameter less than 215.9 mm, and thick wall exceeding 12.7 mm for high-pressure environments. This classification ensures accurate duty assessment for drilling casings.

Import Tips

• Verify API 5CT certification and mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm seamless nonalloy steel composition and dimensions

• Ensure threading/coupling matches casing standards to avoid reclassification as unfinished pipes

• Common pitfall: incorrect wall thickness measurement leading to wrong subheading
