U.S. exports of Large-Diameter Riveted or Similarly Closed Pipes & Tubes, Iron or Steel (Over 16 In.) (HS 730590) totaled $393K in August 2026, exported to 12 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataRiveted and similarly closed large-diameter pipes represent a legacy fabrication method still used in certain civil engineering and water infrastructure applications, distinguished from welded products by their mechanical fastening technique. The two tariff lines under this heading — 7305901000 for iron or non-alloy steel and 7305905000 for alloy steel — reflect the alloy-content split standard across Chapter 73 pipe classifications. Canada is the primary supplier to the US under this heading, with China and Denmark also among the leading sources.

The critical factor is the closure method. If the pipe's seam is formed by riveting, bolting, or a similar mechanical fastening process rather than by any form of welding, it belongs under 730590. Welded pipes — regardless of seam orientation — fall under 730531 or 730539. Mill certifications and fabrication records are the primary supporting documents for this distinction.
Section 232 tariffs apply to iron and steel articles broadly, but the specific treatment for Canadian-origin steel products has been subject to separate bilateral arrangements. Importers should verify the current status of any Section 232 exemptions or alternative measures applicable to Canadian steel at the time of entry, as these arrangements have changed over time.
