Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7304.29.10Same rate: 35%

If made of alloy steel

Alloy steel versions (e.g., with chromium or molybdenum) change to subheading 7304.29 for higher strength pipelines.

7306.19.10Same rate: 35%

If used as casing or tubing in wells

Pipes primarily for well drilling or extraction (casing/tubing) classify under 7306, not line pipe for transport.

7304.59.80Same rate: 35%

If not specifically for oil/gas pipelines

Other seamless nonalloy tubes for general pressure use fall under 7304.59, excluding dedicated line pipe.
