HS-6 · Subheading
730650
Steel, alloy; tubes, pipes and hollow profiles (other than stainless steel or seamless), welded, of circular cross-section, n.e.c. in chapter 73
Heading 7306 — Iron or steel (excluding cast iron); tubes, pipes and hollow profiles (not seamless), n.e.c. in chapter 73
Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 730650 when importing or exporting welded steel tubes and pipes made from alloy steel, specifically those with a circular cross-section. For example, a shipment of welded tubes used in construction projects would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 7306XX, which covers other types of iron or steel tubes and pipes, including those made from stainless steel or seamless varieties. Understanding the differences is crucial for proper classification.
The 730650 line specifically addresses welded tubes and pipes that are not seamless and are made from alloy steel. This includes products like structural tubing used in buildings or machinery, where strength and durability are essential.
When classifying your products, consider whether they are circular in cross-section and welded. If they are seamless or made from stainless steel, you’ll need to look at different HS codes under the same heading.
