Import Tips

Verify API 5L certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm alloy steel composition and mechanical properties during customs clearance

Ensure accurate outside diameter measurement documentation, as exceeding 114.3 mm is critical for this subheading; mismeasurement can lead to reclassification

Comply with Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulations for imported line pipe used in U.S. pipelines
