Tapered Steel Lamp Post Tube

A longitudinally welded steel tube with a tapered design, featuring a circular cross-section exceeding 406.4 mm in external diameter, specifically engineered as the main structural component for street lamp posts. It serves principally as a part of illuminating articles by housing electrical wiring and supporting lamp fixtures in outdoor lighting systems. This classification under 7305.31.20.00 applies due to its tapered profile and primary use in illumination infrastructure.
