Grade K55 Oil Well Casing
Grade K55 casing is a welded non-alloy steel pipe designed for intermediate oil well sections, offering higher collapse resistance than J55 grades. Classified under HTS 7306.29.2000 as 'other' iron/nonalloy steel casing for drilling, it supports cementing and pressure containment in drilling operations. Threads are typically BTC (Buttress Threaded and Coupled) for secure joints.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If stainless steel composition
Stainless steel casings fall under dedicated subheading 7306.29.31 for corrosion-resistant drilling applications.
If assembled into drilling parts
When pre-assembled with couplings or accessories for specific drilling tools, it becomes parts of drilling machinery.
If for screw-threaded ends only
Primarily structural tubes with threading but not drilling-specific classify under general hollow profiles.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include hydrostatic test certificates proving pressure ratings suitable for drilling casing use
• Label clearly as 'oilfield casing' to prevent misclassification as line pipe under Chapter 73 headings
