Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, seamless, of iron (other than cast iron) or steel Articles of this heading, of a length which does not exceed twice the greatest external dimension of the cross-section, are not considered as tubes or pipes. They are considered to be either tube or pipe fittings (heading 7307 ) or washers (heading 7318 ). This heading covers also articles which are threaded regardless of the ratio of the threaded part as compared to the overall length of the article (see also the HS Explanatory Note to Chapter 73, General, (1)).

Chapter noteChapter 73 — Articles of iron or steel

This chapter covers articles of iron or steel, including cast iron, but excludes products specifically covered in Chapters 72 (iron and steel in primary and semi-finished forms) or in Section XVI (machinery and mechanical appliances). Articles of iron or steel which are clearly identifiable as parts of specific machines or apparatus are classified with those machines in Chapters 84-85 rather than in this chapter. The chapter includes a wide range of manufactured products such as tubes, pipes, structures, containers, wire products, chains, screws, bolts, needles, springs, stoves, radiators, and other articles for domestic, industrial or construction use.

CJEU Case Law

C-210/22

21 Sept 2023

Stappert Deutschland GmbH v Hauptzollamt Hannover

On those grounds, the Court (Ninth Chamber) hereby rules: 1. The primary rule applicable to goods falling under subheading 730441 of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System, provided for in Annex 22-01 to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 of 28 July 2015 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards detailed rules concerning certain provisions of the Union Customs Code, as amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/1063 of 16 May 2018, must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘hollow profile’, within the meaning of that rule, does not include a hot-formed ‘tube blank’, straight and of uniform wall thickness, which does not meet the requirements of a technical standard relating to hot-formed, seamless, stainless steel pipes and from which, by cold forming, pipes with a different cross-section and wall thickness are manufactured, under subheading 730441 of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System. 2. The primary rule applicable to goods under subheading 730441 of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System, provided for in Annex 22-01 to Delegated Regulation 2015/2446, as amended by Delegated Regulation 2018/1063, is invalid since it excludes the change of tariff heading resulting from the transformation from tubes and pipes under subheading 730449 of the Harmonised System into seamless tubes, pipes and hollow profiles of iron or steel, cold-drawn or cold-rolled (cold reduced) under subheading 730441 of that harmonised system, from conferring on those products the status of products originating in the country where that change took place.
