What is the HS code
HS code is an internationally used commodity coding system, the full name of which is "Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System". It is formulated by the World Tariff Organization (WTO) to classify and count commodities for the convenience of international trade and customs management. The HS code consists of 6 digits:
The first two digits: commodity category
The 3rd to 4th digits: secondary category
The 5th to 6th digits: subdivided items
HS code for precision steel tube
The HS code for precision tube mainly depends on multiple factors such as the type, purpose, material and specifications of the product. The following are some common HS codes for precision tubes classified by production process:
Classification |
HS Code |
Description |
Application |
Seamless precision tube |
|||
Carbon steel seamless pipe |
7304.19 |
Outer diameter ≤ 406.4mm, non-boiler/geological use |
Cold drawn/cold rolled carbon steel pipe (machine parts) |
Alloy steel seamless pipe |
7304.29 |
Outer diameter ≤ 406.4mm, non-boiler/geological use |
Precision alloy steel pipe for automobiles |
Stainless steel seamless pipe |
7304.41 |
Outer diameter ≤ 406.4mm |
Food grade/medical equipment stainless steel pipe |
Other alloy steel seamless pipe |
7304.49 |
Special alloy material, outer diameter ≤ 406.4mm |
High corrosion resistant industrial pipe |
Welded precision tube |
|||
Longitudinal submerged arc welded carbon steel pipe |
7305.31 |
Outer diameter > 406.4mm, high pressure use |
Oil and gas transmission pipeline |
Other welded cold drawn/cold rolled pipe |
7306.30 |
Outer diameter ≤ 406.4mm |

Notes
1. Specifications affect coding
Outer diameter, wall thickness, and processing technology (cold drawing/hot rolling) may cause changes in the sub-items of precision tubes (such as whether the outer diameter exceeds 406.4mm, 7304.19 and 7304.23 may be distinguished.).
2. Usage description
It is necessary to clarify whether it is used in special fields such as boiler tube, oil and gas pipes, etc.
3. Country differences
Some countries add their own subdivision codes after the 6-digit HS code (such as China's 10-digit tax number).
Purpose of the customs code of precision tubes
The customs code of precision tubes is very important in international trade, and its uses are as follows:
1. Customs declaration
In international trade, each type of goods must have a specific customs code to facilitate customs declaration, customs clearance, and tax management. The customs code of precision tubes is 7304, which needs to be filled in when conducting import and export trade so that customs can manage the goods.
2. Customs tax management
The customs code of precision tubes not only involves customs declaration, but also tax management. Customs classifies goods according to their customs codes, and different tax rates correspond to different customs codes.
3. Statistical analysis
The customs code of precision tubes not only plays an obvious role in customs tax management, but also helps a lot in trade statistics analysis. By conducting statistical analysis on different customs codes, we can have a comprehensive understanding of the scale, structure, composition and other aspects of import and export trade, and provide a basis for formulating relevant policies.
Summary
When conducting import and export trade, correctly filling in the customs code of precision tubes can help enterprises effectively avoid customs taxation and other issues, thereby ensuring the normal operation of enterprises.
