Welded Rectangular Steel Tubing 2x1 Inch
This is a welded hollow profile of noncircular rectangular cross-section (2 inches by 1 inch) made from nonalloy steel with a wall thickness of 2 mm, used in structural frameworks for machinery guards. It falls under HTS 7306.69.5000 as it is a welded tube of iron or nonalloy steel with noncircular cross-section and wall thickness less than 4 mm. The open-seamed or welded construction distinguishes it from seamless pipes.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If made of alloy steel
Alloy steel versions (with specific alloying elements exceeding limits) shift to 7306.60 headings, changing duty rates due to material composition.
If wall thickness 4 mm or greater
Thicker walls (>=4 mm) classify under 7306.69.10.00 as structural strength requirements alter subheading placement.
If seamless instead of welded
Seamless tubes of noncircular cross-section fall under Chapter 73 seamless headings like 7304, based on manufacturing process.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify wall thickness and cross-section dimensions with caliper measurements to confirm <4mm and noncircular profile for accurate classification
• Provide mill test certificates (MTC) proving nonalloy steel composition (max 0.25% carbon) to avoid misclassification as alloy steel
• Avoid common pitfalls by distinguishing from circular welded pipes in 7306.30, which have different rates; label as 'hollow profiles' in documentation
