7304.51.50.60/Cold-Drawn 316 Stainless Steel Hypodermic Tubing/Mexico

Cold-Drawn 316 Stainless Steel Hypodermic Tubing from Mexico

Seamless cold-drawn tubes of 316 alloy steel with circular cross-section, outer diameter under 16mm, used in medical needles and syringes. Classified under 7304.51.50.60 as cold-formed seamless hollow profiles of alloy steel, not further worked beyond cold-reduction. Meets chapter definition of 'wire' due to small cross-section.

Import Tips

• Obtain material test reports (MTRs) certifying alloy composition (e.g

• 316 stainless) and seamless production to avoid reclassification as welded

• For medical applications, ensure FDA compliance and provide end-use certificates; common pitfall is incorrect diameter measurement leading to 'wire' vs tube disputes

• Declare exact cold-forming process; cold-rolled finish must be documented to qualify under this subheading
