U.S. imports of welded square & rectangular cross-section iron or steel tubes & pipes (HS 730661) totaled $51.9M in July 2026, traded with 35 countries.
Importers of Welded Square & Rectangular Cross-Section Iron or Steel Tubes & Pipes paid $25.6M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 49% on $51.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataStructural hollow sections with square or rectangular profiles are widely used in construction, fabricated metal structures, and mechanical framing — making classification precision under this heading commercially significant. The US tariff lines differentiate by wall thickness (the 4 mm threshold separates 7306611000 and 7306613000 from 7306615000 and related lines), by steel type (iron/non-alloy, alloy, and stainless), and by cross-section shape (square vs. rectangular). Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, with South Korea and Taiwan also prominent sources. Section 232 tariffs apply to steel imports generally, and USMCA origin qualification is a routine consideration for North American supply chains.

The heading covers both square and rectangular cross-sections, but the US tariff lines distinguish them: for example, 7306612500 covers square cross-section products of iron or non-alloy steel, while 7306611000 covers rectangular (and square) profiles with wall thickness at or above 4 mm. Importers should confirm exact cross-section geometry and wall thickness before classification.
Yes — 7306617030 specifically covers welded square or rectangular cross-section tubes with wall thickness under 4 mm of stainless steel, while 7306617060 covers the equivalent in non-stainless alloy steel. Stainless square tubing is therefore classified here rather than under the circular stainless tube headings.
