HS Code 7306 — Small Diameter Welded Steel Pipes

This category covers welded tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles with a diameter of 406.4 mm or less. These products are ubiquitous in construction, furniture manufacturing, and general plumbing. They are generally produced by folding a steel strip into a circle, square, or rectangle and welding the seam.

What's included

  • ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) pipes
  • Square and rectangular hollow sections
  • Scaffold tubes
  • Galvanized welded pipe

What's excluded

  • Seamless pipes → use 7304 (Products without a seam follow a different manufacturing process.)
  • Pipes used as structural parts → use 7308 (If modified for specific structures, they become part of 7308.)

Common examples

  • 2-inch galvanized water pipe
  • 40mm x 40mm steel box section
  • ERW mild steel furniture tube
  • Circular steel conduit

Frequently asked questions

Can furniture parts use this code?
