WCO Notes for Heading 7305

73.05 ‑ Other tubes and pipes (for example, welded, riveted or similarly closed), having circular cross-sections, the external diameter of which exceeds 406.4 mm, of iron or steel (+).

‑ Line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines :

7305.11 - - Longitudinally submerged arc welded

7305.12 - - Other, longitudinally welded

7305.19 - - Other

7305.20 ‑ Casing of a kind used in drilling for oil or gas

‑ Other, welded :

7305.31 - - Longitudinally welded

7305.39 - - Other

7305.90 ‑ Other

The tubes and pipes of this heading are obtained, for example, by welding or riveting preformed, unclosed, tubular shapes produced from flat‑rolled products.

The tubular shapes can be produced :

‑ longitudinally or spirally in a continuous operation by means of a set of rollers, for flat‑rolled products in coils; or

‑ longitudinally in a non‑continuous operation by means of a press or rolling machine, for flat‑rolled products not in coils.

In the case of welded articles, the abutting edges are welded without filler metal by flash‑welding, by electrical resistance or induction welding, or by submerged arc welding with filler metal and flux or gas protection to prevent oxidation. As regards products obtained by riveting, the abutting edges are overlapped and joined by rivets.

The products of this heading may be coated with, for example, plastics or with glass wool combined with bitumen.

They include line pipes of a kind used for oil or gas, casings for oil or gas wells, tubes for long distance waterlines or slurry mains for coal or other solid materials, tubes for piling or structural columns, as well as hydroelectric conduits, usually reinforced with rings.

The heading does not cover :

(a) Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, of heading 73.03, 73.04 or 73.06.

(b) Tube or pipe fittings of iron or steel (heading 73.07).

Subheading Explanatory Notes.

Subheadings 7305.11, 7305.12, 7305.19 and 7305.20

The provisions of the Explanatory Note to subheadings 7304.11, 7304.19, 7304.22, 7304.23, 7304.24 and 7304.29 apply, mutatis mutandis, to these subheadings.

Subheading 7305.11

This subheading covers tubes manufactured from steel plate by forming in a press or by rolling, and by welding by an electric arc with the addition of metal and with flux to prevent oxidation of the metal at the moment of fusion.

After welding there is a raised bead of metal, the “weld bead”, which is clearly visible on the external surface of the finished tube.

Subheading 7305.12

This subheading covers mainly tubes manufactured from coils of steel by continuous forming through a train of forming rolls and electric welding by resistance or induction without the addition of metal. After welding there is no raised bead of metal on the external surface of the finished tube.

FAQs

What is HS code 7305?

HS code 7305 includes Articles of iron or steel - Other tubes and pipes (for example, welded, riveted or similarly closed), having circular cross-sections, the external diameter of which exceeds 406.4 mm, of iron or steel..

How many sub-headings are there in HS code 7305?

There are 7 sub-heading(s) in HS code 7305.

What is an HS Code and Why Does it Hold For Cross-Border Trade?

HS code is a standardized six-digit numerical classification system developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO) and acts as a universal language for simplifying the process of identifying and classifying traded products. They ensure consistent customs clearance, enable accurate duty calculation, and help identify relevant trade regulations. This simplifies the process for businesses, saving time, reducing risk, and promoting informed decision-making.

What are Controls and Why should Businesses Focus on Them?

In global trade, controls refer to a set of regulations and policies implemented by governments to manage the import and export of goods and services. These controls can take various forms, including tariffs, quotas, embargoes, export controls, and licensing requirements. Companies should prioritize understanding and adhering to them for compliance, reduced risk of legal issues, mitigating reputational damage, staying competitive, and building trust with governments.

What are Tariffs in Global Trade and Why should Businesses Focus on Them?

In global trade, tariffs are a type of tax levied by a government on imported goods. They act as a financial barrier to entry, increasing the overall cost of the imported product for domestic consumers and businesses. By understanding how tariffs work and their potential impact, companies can make informed decisions about pricing, sourcing, and market expansion, ultimately ensuring their competitiveness in the global marketplace.

What are FTAs in Global Trade and Why should Businesses Focus on Them?

In global trade, Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are legally binding agreements between two or more countries aimed at reducing or eliminating barriers to trade between them. By understanding the terms of relevant FTAs and strategically incorporating them into their business plans, companies can enjoy reduced costs, expanded market access, and a more competitive edge in international trade.
