Alternative Classifications

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

7306.19.10Same rate: 35%

If made of stainless steel

Stainless steel casing shifts to 7306.19 due to alloy composition exceeding non-alloy limits.

7304.29.10.10Same rate: 35%

If seamless construction

Seamless pipes for drilling fall under Chapter 73 heading 7304, not welded/open seamed types.

7306.30.10Same rate: 35%

If used for drilling water wells

Casing for non-oil/gas drilling (e.g., water/geothermal) classified under welded tubes of iron/steel.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify API 5CT certification and grade markings (J55) on each pipe length for customs compliance

Provide mill test certificates showing chemical composition to confirm non-alloy steel classification

Avoid misclassification as seamless tubing (7304) by documenting welded construction and threaded couplings
