Welded Alloy Steel Hydraulic Tubing 12mm OD from Mexico
This is a welded tube of circular cross section made from alloy steel, with an outer diameter of 12mm and wall thickness of 1.2mm, used in hydraulic systems for fluid transfer. It falls under HTS 7306.50.10.00 because it is welded, of alloy steel, circular, and has a wall thickness less than 1.65mm. The thin wall allows for lightweight construction while maintaining pressure resistance.

Import Tips
• Verify alloy steel composition meets ASTM standards like A213 for proper classification and provide mill test certificates
• Ensure wall thickness documentation is precise, as exceeding 1.65mm shifts to 7306.50.50.00
• Label as 'welded' to avoid misclassification as seamless under 7304
