Import Tips
• Verify API 5L certification and alloy steel composition (e.g
• chromium-molybdenum content) via mill test certificates for classification
• Ensure external diameter >406.4mm measured precisely; smaller pipes shift to 7305.11/7305.12
• Provide end-use declaration as oil/gas pipeline to avoid reclassification to general tubes under 7305.90
