Import Tips
• Specify exact OD, weight, and grade on commercial invoice; customs requires precise matching to HTS description
• Obtain ITP (Inspection Test Plan) from third-party like SGS to prove compliance with oilfield standards
• Avoid bundling with tubing to prevent set classification issues under 7306.29.20
