    Detailed information for HTS Code 7304.29.10

    This tariff code falls within Chapter 73, which covers articles of iron or steel, and specifically addresses seamless tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles used for oil or gas drilling. Code 7304.29.10 covers casing, tubing, and drill pipe made of iron or non-alloy steel that are threaded or coupled. Further subdivisions exist based on outside diameter and wall thickness, ranging from smaller diameters with thinner walls (7304.29.10.10 & 7304.29.10.20) to larger diameters with varying wall thicknesses (7304.29.10.30 through 7304.29.10.80), so choose the statistical suffix that accurately reflects these dimensions for the specific product being classified.
