Description

Overview

This HTS category, 7306, encompasses a broad range of hollow profiles manufactured from iron or steel. It includes tubes, pipes, and similar hollow sections that are formed through various manufacturing processes such as open seaming, welding, riveting, or other methods of closure. The key characteristic of goods classified here is their hollow, tubular, or profiled structure made from ferrous metals. This category is designed to capture a wide array of such articles that do not fall under more specific provisions within Chapter 73.

Distinguishing 7306 from its sibling categories at the Section XV and Chapter 73 level is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike categories that might cover finished articles made of iron or steel (e.g., tools, cutlery, or structural components), 7306 specifically addresses the base material in its hollow profile form. Furthermore, it is distinct from raw iron or steel materials (Chapter 72) or more finished products like springs or fasteners.

The subcategories within 7306 further refine the classification based on manufacturing method, cross-sectional shape, and material composition. For example, specific provisions exist for welded tubes and pipes, differentiating them based on whether they are of circular or non-circular cross-section and the type of steel employed (e.g., non-alloy, stainless, or other alloy steel). These subdivisions are essential for importers and exporters to precisely identify the applicable tariff line, influencing duty rates and trade regulations.
