Verification note (2026-09-26)

Chinese 7305.19 covers other tubes and pipes (welded, riveted or similarly closed) of iron or steel, with an external diameter over 406.4 mm — the trade calls it SSAW, spiral / helical submerged-arc welded pipe. Indonesian BTKI 7305.19.10 is the SSAW line. BM 15% (MFN) — noticeably higher than the 5% on seamless pipe (7304) and fittings (7307), because Indonesia splits its steel-pipe lines by process and dimension. PPN 12% (statutory; effectively 11% for non-luxury goods per PMK-131/2024) / PPh 22 2.5% (API) · 7.5% (non-API); PPnBM N/A. Border Lartas is triggered: PI + LS under Permendag 16/2025; no post-border Lartas. The ACFTA page lists the 2023 rate of 5%; 2026 is not listed. Keywords: spiral welded pipe, SSAW.

Frequently asked questions

What is the import duty (BM) for HS 73051900 in Indonesia?

Our INSW lookup on 2026-09-26 read BM 15% (MFN) for Indonesian BTKI 73051910 — higher than the 5% that applies to seamless pipe and fittings. Tariff lines change, so the rate in force on the filing date always prevails.

Why is the duty on spiral welded pipe higher than on seamless pipe?

Indonesia BTKI assigns different MFN rates to different steel-pipe families: 7304 (seamless) is mostly 5%, while the 7305 SSAW line is 15%. One digit of classification can triple the duty, so the 8-digit line must be pinned down on INSW before filing.

Is the Indonesian code the same as the Chinese code 73051900?

Not exactly: China files 73051900 while Indonesia uses 8-digit BTKI 73051910. The Indonesian subheading wording — not the Chinese code — decides the outcome.

Does HS 73051900 carry Lartas import restrictions?

Yes — this code triggers border Lartas: a PI import licence plus LS pre-shipment inspection under Permendag 16/2025, to be secured before shipment. No post-border Lartas was recorded.

What is the PPh 22 rate for this code?

The standard split: PPh 22 2.5% with an API import licence and 7.5% without one. Which importer name is on the entry changes the cost.

Can FORM E / ACFTA lower the duty for this code?

ACFTA (FORM E) was referenced for this line under PMK 46/PMK.010/2022; the INSW record shows the 2023 rate of 5% — not 0%. Read the preferential rate per year and per subheading on INSW before filing, and keep the FORM E original and consistent with the invoice.

Do post-border rules affect resale in Indonesia?

No post-border licence was recorded for this code at our lookup. The border rules (PI + LS) apply before clearance, not after it.

Who should make the final classification call?

The licensed PPJK (customs broker) files the entry and answers to Indonesian Customs. Use this page to prepare — check the 8-digit BTKI, the goods description and the outside diameter — then have the PPJK confirm against the official database on the filing date.
