Sub-classifications

Commodity Code
Description

Overview

This HTS category, 7304, encompasses seamless tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles manufactured from iron (excluding cast iron) or steel. These items are characterized by their hollow cross-section and the absence of welded seams, a crucial distinction for classification. The primary function of these goods is fluid conveyance or structural application, and they are broadly defined by their material composition of ferrous metals.

While this category focuses specifically on seamless iron and steel tubular products, it is important to distinguish it from other HTS chapters that may cover related ferrous metal articles. For instance, Chapter 72 deals with raw iron and steel, while Chapter 73 also includes a wide array of other articles of iron or steel such as bars, rods, angles, shapes, sections, wire, and fabricated structural components which are not hollow profiles. Within Chapter 73, other headings might cover welded pipes and tubes or cast iron pipes, which are explicitly excluded from 7304.

The subcategories within 7304 provide further granularity based on the intended use and material composition. They differentiate between specific applications like line pipe for oil and gas, and casing, tubing, and drill pipe used in drilling operations. Further subdivisions are made based on the cross-sectional shape and the specific type of steel, categorizing products of circular cross-section into those made from non-alloy steel, stainless steel, and other alloy steels, before a residual "Other" category captures remaining items.
