Import Tips

Verify API 5L certification and mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm compliance with oil/gas pipeline standards during customs inspection

Ensure accurate measurement of external diameter exceeding 609.6 mm and longitudinal weld documentation to avoid reclassification to smaller diameter categories

Obtain end-user statements if needed to distinguish from casing or tubing, preventing misclassification under 7304 or 7306
