API 5CT J55 Casing Pipe from Japan

This is a non-alloy steel casing pipe meeting API 5CT J55 specifications, used to line oil and gas wells during drilling to prevent collapse of unconsolidated formations. It falls under HTS 7306.29.2000 as 'other' casing of iron or nonalloy steel for drilling applications, distinct from seamless or ERW subtypes. The pipe features welded construction with precise threading for downhole stability.

Import Tips

Verify API 5CT certification and provide mill test reports (MTRs) to confirm non-alloy steel composition and mechanical properties

Ensure threading specifications match API standards to avoid reclassification as unfinished tubes under 7306.30
