Welded Rectangular Steel Tubing 2x1 Inch from Mexico

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 Tips

• 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
