Import Tips
• Verify API 5L certification and mill test reports (MTRs) for material grade to ensure compliance with pipeline standards
• Provide end-user certificates confirming oil/gas pipeline use to avoid reclassification as general tubing
• Watch for wall thickness measurements, as exceeding certain limits may shift to other statistical suffixes
