Import Tips
• Verify API 5CT certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm seamless nonalloy steel composition and compliance with oil/gas standards
• Ensure outside diameter measurement (215.9-406.4mm) is documented in commercial invoice to avoid reclassification to smaller diameter subheadings
