U.S. exports of Iron & Steel Tubes, Pipes & Hollow Profiles (NES) (SITC 67949) totaled $11.7M in August 2026.
Importers of Iron & Steel Tubes, Pipes & Hollow Profiles (NES) paid $1.5M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 51.03% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataServing as a residual catch-all, this heading captures iron and steel tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles not elsewhere specified — a classification that often draws scrutiny during CBP review when a product's manufacturing method or cross-section doesn't fit neatly into more specific headings. Section 232 tariffs apply broadly to steel tubular products, and the NES designation means importers must document why the goods don't qualify under a more specific heading. End uses span fluid conveyance, structural applications, and mechanical assemblies across multiple industries.

Importers should retain technical specifications — including manufacturing method (seamless vs. welded), cross-section geometry, wall thickness, and intended end use — along with a written classification analysis showing why more specific headings do not apply. CBP may request mill certificates and production records during a CF-28 or CF-29 inquiry.
Potentially yes. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders on steel tubular products from various origins can overlap with NES classifications. Importers should search the USITC and Commerce Department's active order lists by product description and country of origin, as the NES heading does not exempt goods from trade-remedy coverage.
