Import Tips
• Include chemical composition analysis and mechanical properties from MTRs to prove non-alloy steel status
• Confirm external diameter via caliper measurements or manufacturer specs to meet the >609.6 mm threshold
• Avoid bulk packaging mislabeled as structural; specify 'line pipe for oil/gas' in commercial invoice
