Import Tips

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

Confirm exact OD (11.25-16in) and wall thickness ≥19mm with caliper measurements to avoid reclassification to thinner wall subheadings

Include API 5L certification and hydrostatic test reports in documentation to prove line pipe use and comply with energy sector import rules
