42-Inch OD Seamless Alloy Steel Pipe for Oil Drilling from Japan
This seamless pipe, made from alloy steel with an outside diameter of 42 inches (1066.8 mm), is designed for high-pressure oil and gas drilling operations. It falls under HTS 7304.59.80.80 due to its seamless construction, circular cross-section, alloy steel material, and OD exceeding 406.4 mm. These pipes withstand extreme downhole conditions without welds that could fail.

Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition certification to confirm alloy steel status and avoid misclassification as carbon steel under 7304.19
• Obtain mill test reports (MTRs) documenting seamless production process and exact OD measurements exceeding 406.4 mm
• Ensure API 5L or equivalent standards compliance for oilfield pipes to facilitate customs clearance and avoid delays
