The HSN code for square tubes made of iron or steel is clearly defined within Chapter 73, which covers “Articles of iron or steel.” Specifically, the data highlights:
It’s important to differentiate this from other tube types mentioned in the data, such as “Seamless Steel Tube Quality” (HSN 72071230), which refers to semi-finished products of iron or non-alloy steel with a rectangular (other than square) cross-section and also has an 18% GST rate. While both are related to metal profiles, HSN 73066100 is the direct classification for welded square or rectangular hollow sections.
The data also includes other items with “square” in their description, like paper or quartzite, but these are distinct from metal square tubes and fall under different HSN chapters and GST rates. Therefore, for square tubes made of iron or steel, HSN 73066100 is the primary and most relevant code for GST purposes.
The primary HSN code for iron or steel square tubes is 73066100.
It covers “Other Tubes, Pipes And Hollow Profiles… Of Iron Or Steel – Other, Welded, Of Non-Circular Cross-Section: — Of Square Or Rectangular Cross-Section.”
The GST rate for square tubes under HSN 73066100 is 18%.
The data shows HSN 72071230 for “Semi-Finished Products Of Iron Or Non-Alloy Steel – Containing By Weight Less Than 0.25% Of Carbon : Other, Of Rectangular (Other Than Square) Cross-section : Seamless Steel Tube Quality,” with an 18% GST.
Using the correct HSN code is vital for accurate GST compliance, proper invoicing, and efficient customs clearance for businesses dealing with square tubes.
