Import Tips
• Differentiate from true tubing (7306.20); drilling/production use governs 7304 classification
• Batch certificates must specify 'casing/tubing, drilling applications' to prevent misclassification
• Beware valuation disputes; related-party transactions require arm's-length pricing documentation
