Import Tips
• Provide detailed dimensional specs and grade certification; customs may inspect for wall thickness compliance
• Label as 'oilfield tubing per API 5CT' to distinguish from line pipe, preventing misclassification
• Ensure no alloying elements exceed non-alloy limits; chemical analysis reports are essential
