Welded Steel Tube Hollows for Redrawing 25mm OD from Japan
These are welded, circular cross-section steel tube hollows of non-alloy steel with an outside diameter of 25mm and wall thickness over 1.65mm, specifically designed as intermediates for redrawing into thinner-walled tubes. They fall under HTS 7306.30.50.35 due to their classification as 'tube and pipe hollows for redrawing' in the other welded category. This distinguishes them from finished tubes or those under 1.65mm wall thickness.

Import Tips
• Verify wall thickness exceeds 1.65mm and OD ≤114.3mm via certified measurements to avoid reclassification to finished pipe categories
• Provide mill test certificates confirming non-alloy steel composition and intended use for redrawing to support customs valuation
• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient documentation on redrawing purpose, which could lead to duty hikes under general tube headings
