Import Tips

Verify API 5CT certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) confirming seamless production, grade J55, exact OD/wall specs to avoid reclassification

Ensure proper documentation of threaded/coupled ends and nonalloy steel composition; common pitfall is misstating wall thickness leading to duty shifts

Comply with API standards and US oilfield regulations; label with heat number for traceability
