Alternative Classifications

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

7306.19.10.50Same rate: 35%

If welded or ERW construction

Welded casing pipes fall under Chapter 73 heading 7306 for line pipe and casing, not seamless 7304.

7304.29Same rate: 35%

If wall thickness 12.7 mm or greater

Thicker wall casings shift to 7304.29.30 subheading based on structural strength requirements.

7304.39.00Same rate: 35%

If made of alloy steel

Alloy steel composition (e.g., chrome-moly) changes classification from nonalloy 7304.29 to 7304.39.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide API 5CT certification and mill test reports (MTRs) to verify seamless nonalloy steel composition and mechanical properties

Ensure accurate measurement documentation for OD (9-5/8") and wall thickness to avoid misclassification into thicker wall subheadings
