API 5L Grade B Seamless Steel Pipe 16-inch OD 1-inch Wall
This seamless steel pipe of nonalloy steel has an outside diameter of 406.4 mm (16 inches) and a wall thickness of 25.4 mm (1 inch), designed for oil and gas transmission pipelines. It falls under HTS 7304.39.0072 due to its circular cross-section, seamless construction, OD between 285.8 mm and 406.4 mm, and wall thickness of 19 mm or more. Commonly used in high-pressure line pipe applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If wall thickness under 19 mm
Pipes with the same OD range but thinner walls (less than 19 mm) fall under the adjacent subheading for thinner walled tubes.
If welded or electric resistance welded (ERW)
Welded pipes of nonalloy steel, even with identical dimensions, are classified in heading 7306, not seamless 7304.
If made of alloy steel rather than nonalloy
Alloy steel composition (e.g., containing chromium or molybdenum) shifts classification from nonalloy 7304.39 to alloy 7304.59.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify seamless construction via mill test certificates (MTC) as welded pipes classify under Chapter 73 headings like 7306
• Confirm exact OD (11.25-16in) and wall thickness ≥19mm with caliper measurements to avoid reclassification to thinner wall subheadings
• Include API 5L certification and hydrostatic test reports in documentation to prove line pipe use and comply with energy sector import rules
