RHS - you mean the steel square tube?
Ask for 1" by (I think) 16 gauge (check its 1.5 /1.6mm thick). See if that gets a better response. Also mention you want ERW and not
seemless.
for the 19mm ask for 3/4" square and round.
ERW - electical resistance welded (or something very similar, meaning its a flat bit of steel shaped then welded together by a special machine.
I'll now wait for people to tell me i've got that completely wrong

I knew this would come on handy one day. I might be able to find proper metric sizes if you wish.

Mike you are correct.
The term RHS really only is correct for sizes beyond our range.....In our sizes, especially with 1.6/1.5 WT, square ERW tube is a better
description.....Also, seamless square tube is very uncommon anyway......
