Cold-Rolled 304 Stainless Steel Tube 2 inch OD

A welded, cold-rolled stainless steel tube with a 2-inch outer diameter, wall thickness of 2 mm, and less than 15% chromium content as per 304 grade specifications. Classified under HTS 7306.40.50.42 due to its circular cross-section, welded construction, and cold-reduction process on stainless steel with low chromium. Used in structural applications like handrails and frames.

Alternative Classifications

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

7306.40.10.10Same rate: 35%

If wall thickness under 1.65 mm

Thinner walls classify under the specific subheading for walls less than 1.65 mm regardless of chromium.

7304.39.00Same rate: 35%

If not cold-drawn/rolled but hot-finished

Hot-finished seamless or welded tubes fall under Chapter 73 heading 7304 for other alloy steel tubes.

7306.50.50Same rate: 35%

If chromium 15% or more by weight

Higher chromium stainless steels (e.g., 316 grade) shift to the 7306.50 series.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify chromium content via mill test certificate to confirm <15% for this subheading; misclassification to higher Cr codes risks penalties

Ensure documentation includes weld type (e.g

TIG welded) and cold-rolling process details for customs verification
