Stainless Steel Seamless Hollow Bar 304 Grade

A seamless hollow bar made from 304 stainless steel with a circular cross-section, designed for use in machinery components. It falls under HTS 7304.49.0015 as a hollow profile of stainless steel, not suitable for drilling or threading, distinguishing it from tubes or pipes. These bars are precision-formed without welds for high-strength applications.

Alternative Classifications

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

7222.40Lower: 10% vs 35%

If alloy steel content exceeds specified limits

Higher alloy stainless steels may shift to Chapter 72 headings for other bars and rods.

7304.41.30Lower: 17.5% vs 35%

If cold-drawn and suitable for drilling or threading

Bars finished for machining into bores or threads are classified separately from seamless hollow profiles.

7306.40.10Same rate: 35%

If imported as finished mechanical tubing

End-use as precision tubing rather than raw hollow bar changes classification to welded or seamless tubes.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify seamless construction via mill test certificates to avoid misclassification as welded products under 7306

Ensure accurate measurement of wall thickness and outer diameter to confirm it's a hollow bar, not a tube

Label with exact steel grade (e.g

304) and provide chemical composition reports for customs valuation
