Import Tips
• Verify API 5CT certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm seamless construction and J55 grade nonalloy steel composition
• Ensure threading specifications match API standards; mismatched threads may lead to reclassification or customs delays
• Include end-user declaration specifying oil/gas drilling use to avoid misclassification as general pipe under 7304.19
