Welded Alloy Steel Rectangular Tubing 2x1 Inch

This is a welded rectangular tube made from alloy steel, measuring 2 inches by 1 inch with a wall thickness of 2 mm, used in structural frameworks for machinery. It falls under HTS 7306.69.70.60 as a welded tube of noncircular cross section from alloy steel with wall thickness less than 4 mm. The noncircular rectangular profile and alloy composition distinguish it from circular or thicker-walled tubes.

Alternative Classifications

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

7306.50.50.50Same rate: 35%

If made of carbon steel instead of alloy steel

Carbon steel versions of the same noncircular welded tubes shift to heading 7306.50, as alloy steel requires specific alloying elements over defined thresholds.

7306.69.10.00Same rate: 35%

If wall thickness is 4 mm or greater

Thicker walls (≥4 mm) move to a different statistical suffix within the same heading for structural differentiation.

7304.39.00.40Same rate: 35%

If supplied as seamless rather than welded

Seamless tubes of alloy steel fall under Chapter 73 heading 7304, distinguished by manufacturing process without welds.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify alloy steel composition meets ASTM standards with mill test certificates to avoid misclassification as carbon steel

Ensure wall thickness documentation is precise as under 4 mm affects duty rates

Common pitfall: incorrect cross-section measurement leading to circular tube classification
