Alternative Classifications

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

7306.40Lower: 10% vs 17.5%

If welded rather than seamless

Welded stainless steel tubes of circular cross section under 19 mm OD fall under Chapter 73 heading 7306 for welded pipes.

9018.39.00Lower: 10% vs 17.5%

If imported as finished hypodermic needles

Assembled needles or syringes are classified by function under Chapter 90 as medical instruments, not as tubes.

7222.30.00Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If of stainless steel but considered bars or rods with hollow profile

Certain hollow profiles not primarily functioning as tubes may shift to Chapter 72 steel bars classification.
