Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for submerged oil/gas pipelines
Subsea line pipe for transport classifies differently from drilling structural casing.
If made from high-strength low-alloy steel
Certain alloy compositions may qualify under different alloy steel subheadings.
If seamless construction
Seamless large-diameter tubes always head to 7304 provisions.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include corrosion test certificates (e.g
• NACE MR0175) for sour service casings to support alloy classification
• Specify 'surface casing' end-use in entry summaries to differentiate from production tubing
• Measure and certify exact OD to avoid disputes over 406.4 mm threshold
