Alternative Classifications

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

7304.29.10Same rate: 35%

If used as casing or tubing in wells

Oil/gas well casing/tubing (even alloy) classifies under 7304, separate from line pipe.

7305.31Lower: 10% vs 35%

If made of carbon steel, not alloy

Carbon steel versions of identical line pipe geometry fall under 7305.31, with different duty rates.

8411.99.90Higher: 37.4% vs 35%

If imported as gas compressor component

End-use as machinery part (e.g., turbocharger housing) moves to Chapter 84.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Include NACE MR0175 certification for sour gas service to confirm pipeline end-use and alloy suitability

• Document weld seam inspection (e.g

• ultrasonic testing) as proof of construction meeting 7305 line pipe standards

• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests casing use, which could shift to 7304 or 7306
