Hydraulic Tube HS Code

Hydraulic tube, as an important component of hydraulic system, carries the important task of transmitting hydraulic energy. In international trade, each commodity has a specific customs code for accurate classification and identification. For hydraulic tubes, its customs code is an important and necessary information.

What is HS code

The customs code is HS code, which is the abbreviation of the coding coordination system. Its full name is "International Convention for Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System", referred to as the Harmonized System (abbreviated as HS). It is a multi-purpose international trade commodity classification catalog formulated on the basis of the original Customs Cooperation Council commodity classification catalog and the International Trade Standard Classification Catalog to coordinate various international commodity classification catalogs.

The basic number of HS codes used internationally is 6 digits. This 6-digit code contains the following three parts:

The 1st-2nd digits: represent "class, chapter". There are 21 classes in total (the class number is represented by one digit, but the 21st class is represented by two digits, that is, Chapter 98), 97 chapters (Chapter 77 is left blank).

The 3rd and 4th digits represent the heading. Each chapter is further divided into several headings according to needs, represented by two digits. There are 1241 four-digit tariff headings in total.

The 5th and 6th digits represent the subheading. The heading is further divided into several subheadings according to needs. The subheading code is composed of two digits added to the heading to which it belongs. There are 5019 six-digit subheadings in total.

HS codes are not applicable to all countries. HS codes are used in more than 200 countries and regions, but in some countries and regions, due to their special trade or economic needs, variants based on HS codes or self-designed coding systems may be adopted, such as HTS codes and NCM codes.

HS Codes for Hydraulic tubes

HS codes for hydraulic tubes may vary depending on the pipe material and specific type, but they usually fall under Chapter 73 (Articles of Iron and Steel), specifically 7304 (Seamless iron pipes (except cast iron) or seamless steel pipes, tubes and hollow sections) or 7306 (Welded iron pipes or welded steel pipes, tubes and hollow sections). For example, seamless iron or steel hydraulic tubes are usually classified under HS code 730439 (cold drawn pipes are further specified by subheading 73043919, etc.). If the pipe material is a welded pipe, it may be classified under HS code 7306. Below is a list of HS codes for hydraulic tubes:
