API 5L Grade B Longitudinal Welded Line Pipe 24-inch from Japan

This longitudinally welded steel pipe meets API 5L Grade B specifications for use in oil and gas pipelines, with an external diameter of 24 inches (609.6 mm to 914.4 mm). It is made from non-alloy steel and designed for high-pressure transport of hydrocarbons. Classified under 7305.12.1060 due to its large diameter, welded construction, and specific application in pipeline systems.

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
