Overview
This HTS category, 7306.30.50.15, covers circular welded tubes and pipes of iron or non-alloy steel with a wall thickness of 1.65 mm or more, which are further processed by cold drawing and do not fall under the specific exclusion for boiler and heat exchanger components. The "cold-drawn" designation signifies a manufacturing process that improves dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical properties.
This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings primarily by its manufacturing process and specific end-use exclusions. Unlike 7306.30.50.10, these tubes are not specifically designed or designated for use in boilers, superheaters, heat exchangers, condensers, refining furnaces, or feedwater heaters. Furthermore, it differs from 7306.30.50.20 as it specifically addresses cold-drawn articles, whereas the latter focuses on cold-rolled items with a limited wall thickness.
As a leaf node, this category represents the most specific level for this particular type of welded iron or steel tubing. Therefore, to ensure correct classification, importers and exporters should carefully verify that the articles are indeed circular, welded, of iron or non-alloy steel, possess a wall thickness of 1.65 mm or more, have undergone cold drawing, and are not intended for the specialized applications excluded under its sibling categories. Examples of such products might include certain types of mechanical tubing or structural components where enhanced properties due to cold drawing are desired.
