Alternative Classifications

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

7304.29.31Same rate: 35%

If made of stainless steel

Stainless steel variants fall under the stainless subheading within the same tubing category.

7306.50.50.50Same rate: 35%

If not specifically for oil/gas drilling

Other seamless steel tubes not designated for drilling use are classified in Chapter 73 headings for general tubes.

7304.39.00.40Same rate: 35%

If welded rather than seamless

Welded construction shifts classification from seamless (7304) to other tubes/pipes (7306 or 7304.39).
