HS-4 · Heading
7307 — Tube or pipe fittings (e.g. couplings, elbows, sleeves), of iron or steel
Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7307 when importing or exporting tube or pipe fittings made of iron or steel, such as couplings or elbows. For example, a shipment of stainless steel threaded elbows for plumbing systems falls under this classification.
When deciding between subheadings, consider the material and type of fitting. For instance, HS-6 730711 covers cast fittings made of non-malleable cast iron, while HS-6 730719 includes other cast fittings made from iron or steel. Ensure you know the specific material of your product to select the correct code.
If your fittings are stainless steel, you’ll want to look at HS-6 730721 for flanges or HS-6 730722 for threaded elbows. If your product doesn’t fit these specific categories, check HS-6 730729 for other stainless steel fittings not elsewhere classified.
