U.S. imports of seamless iron or nonalloy steel circular tubes & pipes, cold-drawn or cold-rolled (HS 730431) totaled $3.5M in April 2026, traded with 24 countries.
Importers of Seamless Iron or Nonalloy Steel Circular Tubes & Pipes, Cold-Drawn or Cold-Rolled paid $1.7M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 49% on $3.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Seamless Iron or Nonalloy Steel Circular Tubes & Pipes, Cold-Drawn or Cold-Rolled imports of $3.5M in April 2026 ran 30% below the year-to-date monthly average of $5.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCold-drawing and cold-rolling impart tighter dimensional tolerances and improved surface finish to these seamless circular-section tubes, making them preferred inputs for precision mechanical, hydraulic, and boiler applications. All imports of iron and nonalloy steel tubular products are subject to Section 232 tariffs, a factor that significantly affects landed cost calculations for US buyers. The US schedule breaks this heading into hollow bars (7304313000), boiler tubes (7304316010), and general-purpose tubes and pipes (7304316050), with Germany and Italy among the leading European suppliers alongside Mexico. Importers should verify mill certifications and wall-thickness tolerances against ASTM or ASME standards at the time of entry.

The critical distinction is the finishing method: 730431 covers seamless circular tubes of iron or nonalloy steel that have been cold-drawn or cold-rolled, while 730439 covers the same material produced by other methods (e.g., hot-finished). If a tube is hot-finished and then only straightened or lightly processed without a true cold-reduction pass, it typically falls under 730439. Importers should obtain mill process certifications to support the correct classification.
Exclusion requests filed with the Department of Commerce generally require a detailed product description including outer diameter, wall thickness, steel grade, and end-use application, along with evidence that a domestic source is unavailable or insufficient. Supporting mill test reports and purchase records demonstrating prior sourcing attempts from US producers strengthen the application.
