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
