API 5CT L-80 Type 9 Casing Pipe

Seamless steel casing pipe made from non-alloy L-80 grade steel, with threaded couplings, outside diameter of 339.7 mm, and wall thickness of 14.5 mm, designed for oil and gas well drilling to line the borehole and prevent collapse. It falls under HTS 7304.29.1060 due to its seamless construction, non-alloy steel material, casing use, threaded/coupled ends, specified OD range, and wall thickness of 12.7 mm or more. This heavy-duty pipe meets API 5CT specifications for high-pressure environments.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7304.29.10Same rate: 35%

If wall thickness less than 12.7 mm

Same casing specs but thinner walls shift to the subheading for walls under 12.7 mm within the same OD range.

7306.19.10Same rate: 35%

If used as line pipe rather than drilling casing

Reclassified as welded line pipe for oil/gas transport instead of seamless drilling casing, changing the end-use heading.

7304.59.10.00Same rate: 35%

If made of alloy steel instead of non-alloy

Alloy steel composition (e.g., chrome-moly grades) moves it to the alloy steel casing provisions in 7304.59.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify API 5CT certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) to customs for classification confirmation and quality compliance

Ensure accurate measurement documentation for OD (285.8-406.4 mm) and wall thickness (≥12.7 mm) to avoid reclassification to thinner wall subheadings

Check country-of-origin rules; anti-dumping duties may apply to certain steel pipe imports from specific nations like China or India
