Import Tips
• Verify seamless certification via mill test reports (MTRs) to avoid misclassification as welded; ensure API 5L compliance documentation for energy imports
• Common pitfall: incorrect wall thickness measurement leading to wrong subheading
• Label with exact OD and wall specs for customs
