Import Tips
• Provide dimensional specs (OD, weight, wall thickness) matching API 5CT to substantiate drilling classification
• Use ISPM-15 certified wood for packaging to comply with phytosanitary rules during ocean freight
• Avoid declaring as 'pipe' generically; specify 'casing for drilling' to prevent shift to lower-duty line pipe codes
