Welded Alloy Steel Rectangular Tubing 2x1 Inch from Canada
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.

Import Tips
• 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
