U.S. imports of seamless iron & non-stainless steel drill pipe for oil & gas drilling (HS 730423) totaled $5.3M in July 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Importers of Seamless Iron & Non-Stainless Steel Drill Pipe for Oil & Gas Drilling paid $2.3M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 50% on $4.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Seamless Iron & Non-Stainless Steel Drill Pipe for Oil & Gas Drilling imports of $5.3M in July 2026 ran 17% below the year-to-date monthly average of $6.4M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataCarbon and alloy (non-stainless) seamless drill pipe is the workhorse of rotary drilling strings worldwide, and its import classification under heading 730423 splits between nonalloy steel (7304233000) and alloy steel not stainless (7304236000 series), with the alloy lines further divided by OD and wall thickness. Alloy grades — particularly high-strength grades meeting API Spec 5DP — dominate deepwater and directional drilling applications where fatigue resistance is critical. Section 232 tariffs apply, and antidumping duty orders on drill pipe from certain countries have been in force for extended periods, making country-of-origin verification and scope analysis a routine compliance step for OCTG importers.

Antidumping and countervailing duty orders on drill pipe often distinguish between nonalloy and alloy steel grades in their scope language, and the applicable duty rates can differ substantially. Importers should review the scope of any active orders against the country of origin and confirm the steel grade via mill test certificate before entry, as misclassification between 7304233000 and the 7304236000 series can result in significant duty underpayment liability.
Used or reconditioned drill pipe generally remains classifiable under the same HTS lines as new drill pipe, since the tariff schedule does not create separate provisions based on condition. However, CBP may scrutinize the condition and value of used OCTG, and some antidumping order scopes explicitly include used pipe — importers should confirm scope applicability and ensure accurate valuation declarations.
