Alternative Classifications

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

7306.19.10Same rate: 35%

If welded instead of seamless

Welded casing for oil/gas drilling falls under Chapter 73 heading 7306 for line pipe and casing with welded seams.

7304.39.00Same rate: 35%

If made of alloy steel rather than nonalloy

Alloy steel versions (e.g., containing chromium or molybdenum) are classified under 7304.39 for higher strength grades like P110.

8431.49.90Same rate: 35%

If imported as assembled part of downhole drilling equipment

When supplied as components of complete drilling tools rather than standalone casing, it shifts to parts of oil/gas drilling machinery.
