Alloy Steel Oil Well Casing Pipe 16-inch OD from Germany

Welded alloy steel casing pipe with a 16-inch (406.4 mm) external diameter, designed for oil and gas drilling operations to line and stabilize boreholes. It falls under HTS 7305.20.80.00 as it is other casing of alloy steel with circular cross-section exceeding 406.4 mm OD, not specified elsewhere. These pipes are typically used in deep well applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.

Import Tips

Verify alloy steel composition meets ASTM A335 or API 5CT standards with mill test certificates to ensure classification under 7305.20.80.00

Provide drilling end-use documentation like purchase orders to avoid misclassification as general line pipe

Confirm external diameter exceeds 406.4 mm via precise measurements to prevent reclassification to smaller diameter headings
