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

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.

Import Tips

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
