Import Tips

• Verify seamless construction via mill test certificates (MTC) as welded pipes classify under Chapter 73 headings like 7305 or 7306

• Include API 5L certification and hydrostatic test reports in documentation to avoid misclassification as tubes

• Measure OD and wall thickness precisely; slight deviations could shift to adjacent subheadings like 7304.39.0066
