Import Tips
• Verify alloy steel composition meets 'other alloy steel' criteria (not stainless or high-strength low-alloy) with mill test certificates
• Provide API 5CT certification documentation to confirm suitability for oil/gas drilling applications
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring no external seams; inspect for cold-formed wire exceeding 16mm dimension per Chapter 73 notes
