Product Overview The Mild Steel (MS) Pipe, classified under the HS Code 7306, is a versatile and durable product made from carbon steel - a composition of iron and carbon. These pipes are distinguished by their high tensile strength, resistance to wear and tear, and an exceptional level of malleability. They are manufactured through a process that involves a series of steps such as hot rolling, cold drawing, and welding. MS pipes under the HS Code 7306 are further classified into several subcategories based on their diameter, wall thickness, and length, making them suitable for a variety of industrial applications. These pipes are commonly used in industries like food service, retail, and processing industries for tasks such as plumbing, fire sprinkler systems, and HVAC systems. MS Pipes are valued for their cost-effectiveness, durability, and adaptability, providing a competitive edge in the market. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 7306 pertains to "Other tubes, pipes and hollow profiles (for example, open seam or welded, riveted or similarly closed), of iron or steel." This 6-digit code falls under Chapter 73 (Articles of Iron or Steel), Heading 06 (Other tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, of iron or steel). The inclusion of MS Pipe under this code is based on its fundamental composition and form. In terms of trade considerations, MS Pipes are usually packaged in bundles for preservation and ease of transport. They are commonly shipped in bulk via ocean freight, and may require specific handling and storage conditions to prevent rust and corrosion. The quality of these pipes is typically evaluated based on international standards such as the ASTM, ASME, and API standards. This technical description ensures compliance with WTO and customs documentation standards, facilitating the process of international trade.
