Overview
This HTS category, 7304.24.30.30, specifically covers seamless tubes and pipes made of iron or steel, designated for use in drilling for oil or gas. These articles are further refined to be of stainless steel, employed as casing, and are threaded or coupled for connection. The defining characteristic of this particular classification is their wall thickness, which must be less than 12.7 mm.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 7304.24.30.40, solely by the wall thickness. While both categories cover threaded or coupled stainless steel casing used in oil and gas drilling with an outside diameter between 215.9 mm and 285.8 mm, the distinguishing factor here is the measured wall thickness being below the 12.7 mm threshold.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific classification. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise combination of material (stainless steel), application (oil/gas drilling casing), connection type (threaded or coupled), outside diameter range, and the specified wall thickness (less than 12.7 mm) to ensure accurate customs declarations.
