Overview
This HTS classification, 7304.29.20.60, specifically designates seamless tubes and pipes made from iron or nonalloy steel that are intended for use in drilling for oil or gas. The defining characteristic of goods within this category is a wall thickness measuring 12.7 millimeters or more. These robust pipes are designed to withstand the demanding pressures and stresses encountered in oil and gas extraction operations.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 7304.29.20.50, by the specified wall thickness. While both classify casing, tubing, and drill pipe for oil and gas drilling, the 7304.29.20.50 category covers items with a wall thickness less than 12.7 mm. Therefore, the crucial differentiator for classification into 7304.29.20.60 is the presence of a thicker wall, indicating greater structural integrity.
As a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 7304.29.20.60. This means that all seamless iron or nonalloy steel pipes for oil and gas drilling that meet the criteria of having a wall thickness of 12.7 mm or more, and falling within the previously defined outside diameter range, will be classified here. Classification at this level relies solely on the physical dimensions and intended use.
