Overview
This HTS category, 7304.90.50.00, specifically covers seamless tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles made from iron or non-alloy steel, where the wall thickness is less than 4 millimeters. This designation focuses on the material composition (iron or non-alloy steel) and a critical physical characteristic (wall thickness). Examples include thin-walled steel tubing used in various industrial applications, automotive components, and certain types of scaffolding or structural elements where lightness and flexibility are prioritized.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 7304.90.70.00, which covers similar seamless tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles but are specifically manufactured from alloy steel. The primary differentiator here lies in the steel's metallurgical composition; non-alloy steel lacks significant additions of other alloying elements like chromium, nickel, or molybdenum, which are present in alloy steel and impart distinct properties.
As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading is definitive based on the material being iron or non-alloy steel and the wall thickness being under 4 mm. Therefore, any seamless tubes, pipes, or hollow profiles meeting these exact criteria will fall within this classification, without further subdivision.
