Import Tips

Verify API 5CT certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm seamless construction, grade J55 nonalloy steel, exact OD 244.5 mm, and wall thickness ≥12.7 mm

Ensure threading/coupling specs match API standards; misclassification as welded pipes (7306) is common—request seamless proof via ultrasonic testing records

Comply with API Monogram licensing if marked; include end-user certificates to avoid dual-use concerns in oil/gas sectors
