Overview
This HTS category, 7304.23.60.60, specifically classifies drill pipe made of alloy steel that is used in the drilling for oil or gas industry. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its outside diameter, which *exceeds* 168.3 millimeters. These are specialized steel pipes designed to withstand the rigorous conditions encountered during oil and gas exploration and extraction.
The primary distinction for this category lies in its diameter specification. Its sibling category, 7304.23.60.50 (not explicitly listed but implied by the sibling structure), covers drill pipe of alloy steel with an outside diameter *not exceeding* 168.3 millimeters. Therefore, the crucial classification criterion is the precise measurement of the pipe's outer circumference.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code is solely determined by the material (alloy steel), the intended use (drilling for oil or gas), and the specified outside diameter exceeding 168.3 mm. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate measurement to correctly classify these goods and comply with customs regulations.
