Overview
This HTS classification, 7304.59.20.60, specifically designates seamless tubes and pipes of iron or steel, made from other alloy steel, with a circular cross-section. The defining characteristic for this category is the outside diameter, which must be 190.5 mm or more but not exceed 285.8 mm. These tubes and pipes are further specified as being suitable for use in boilers, superheaters, heat exchangers, condensers, refining furnaces, and feedwater heaters, indicating their application in demanding thermal and pressure environments.
The distinction of this subcategory lies precisely in its precise diameter range. It differentiates itself from its siblings by the specified measurements. For instance, it is distinct from 7304.59.20.55, which covers diameters exceeding 114.3 mm but less than 190.5 mm, and from 7304.59.20.70, which encompasses diameters exceeding 285.8 mm but not exceeding 406.4 mm. The exactness of these diameter specifications is crucial for accurate customs classification, as it reflects the intended manufacturing and application of the pipe or tube.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7304.59.20.60 is finalized once the material (iron or steel, other alloy steel), form (seamless tubes, pipes, hollow profiles, circular cross-section), application (boilers, heat exchangers, etc.), and the specific outside diameter range (190.5 mm to 285.8 mm) are confirmed. This level of detail ensures precise identification for import and export purposes.
