Overview
This HTS category, 7304.24.60.15, specifically classifies seamless tubes and pipes made of iron or steel that are designed for use in drilling for oil or gas. These are further categorized as "other," meaning they are not casing or drill pipe. Critically, this subcategory further refines the classification by specifying that the tubing must have an outside diameter not exceeding 114.3 mm.
The defining characteristic distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7304.24.60.30, is the wall thickness. While both are seamless steel tubing for oil and gas drilling with an outside diameter not exceeding 114.3 mm, this specific classification applies only to tubing where the wall thickness *does not exceed* 9.5 mm. The sibling category covers tubing with a wall thickness *exceeding* 9.5 mm.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 7304.24.60.15. Therefore, the classification is complete at this level, relying on the combination of material (iron or steel), application (oil/gas drilling), form (seamless tubes/pipes), type (tubing), outside diameter limit, and wall thickness limit to precisely define the goods.
