Overview
This HTS category encompasses longitudinally welded tubes and pipes of iron or steel with a circular cross-section, where the external diameter exceeds 406.4 mm. These articles are specifically characterized by their construction from alloy steel. The welding process utilized is longitudinal, meaning the seam runs along the length of the pipe.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 7305.31.60.90 "Other," is the explicit requirement for the material to be alloy steel. While both categories fall under longitudinally welded pipes of circular cross-section with an external diameter greater than 406.4 mm, this specific classification requires the presence of alloying elements in the steel, differentiating it from pipes made of non-alloy (carbon) steel.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this category depends solely on fulfilling the criteria of being a longitudinally welded tube or pipe of iron or steel, with a circular cross-section exceeding 406.4 mm in external diameter, and being manufactured from alloy steel. Examples include large diameter, high-strength alloy steel pipes used in demanding industrial applications such as oil and gas pipelines, chemical processing, or power generation.
