Iron Tubing

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes classify iron tubing for customs purposes. Code 7304.90.00 applies to iron pipes and tubes, ensuring accurate duty calculations.

Specific HTS code 7304.90.00 governs iron tubing, with compliance ensuring proper documentation and tariffs for international shipments.

* **Storage Size/Dimensions:** Minimum 200 square feet, or a 15ft x 13ft area. Height clearance: 12 feet to accommodate stacked materials. * **Storage Conditions:** Dry storage area is required. The space should be well-ventilated to prevent dust accumulation and maintain air quality. Ensure the floor is level and clean to prevent damage to the tubing. * **Special Handling:** Iron tubing is a heavy item and can be fragile. Each piece should be protected with adequate padding – bubble wrap or cardboard – during storage and handling. Pallets are recommended for moving and stacking. * **Stacking/Shelving:** Pallet racking is the most efficient storage method. Shelving units with adjustable height options are suitable for smaller diameter tubing. Max stacking height should be no more than 8 feet to maintain stability. * **Access Requirements:** A loading dock with a 12ft x 10ft bay door is necessary for easy access. A minimum clearance of 8 feet should be maintained around the storage area for forklift operation. The door width should be at least 10 feet. A forklift capable of lifting at least 5,000 lbs is required.

Use galvanized coatings, bubble wrap, and pallets for protection. Forklifts with 12ft reach are mandatory. Avoid moisture exposure to prevent rust.

Secure iron tubing with foam padding and steel banding. Palletize for stability, ensuring no movement during transit. Include moisture barriers for humidity-sensitive environments.

Loading docks must support 12ft height for pallets. Include climate-controlled storage facilities and anti-corrosion coatings for long-term preservation.

Storage costs depend on size (15x13 ft), height (12ft), and anti-corrosion measures. Shipping rates vary based on palletization, padding, and HTS compliance requirements.
