Import Tips

Verify API 5CT certification and material test reports (MTRs) for alloy composition to confirm 7304.29.41 classification

Include mill test certificates showing seamless production and exact steel alloy grades to avoid reclassification as welded pipe

Ensure proper marking of outer diameter, weight, and grade per API standards to prevent customs valuation disputes
