Overview
This HTS classification, 7306.40.50.40, specifically designates welded tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles of iron or steel that are of circular cross-section, made from stainless steel, and have undergone a cold-drawing or cold-rolling (cold-reduction) process. Crucially, these articles must contain more than 0.5 percent but less than 24 percent by weight of nickel. The "cold-drawn or cold-rolled" aspect signifies a manufacturing process that improves dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
At this level, the distinguishing factor from its sibling category (also "Other:") lies in the material composition, specifically the nickel content. While the sibling might encompass other types of stainless steel tubes meeting the general criteria, this classification is narrowly defined by its specific nickel percentage range, indicating a particular grade or alloy of stainless steel.
As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7306.40.50.40 is final for qualifying welded, circular stainless steel tubes and pipes that have been cold-processed and fall within the defined nickel content parameters. Examples include certain grades of austenitic stainless steel tubing used in precision applications where specific corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, dictated by the nickel content, are required.
