HS Code 7307.22 – Steel, stainless; tube or pipe fittings, threaded elbows, bends and sleeves
HS code 7307.22 is the 6-digit subheading for steel, stainless, tube or pipe fittings, threaded elbows, bends and sleeves. It is used for stainless steel threaded elbows, stainless steel threaded bends, stainless steel threaded sleeves, stainless steel threaded couplings and stainless steel threaded reducers.
What HS 7307.22 covers
This category covers specific stainless steel pipe fittings that are threaded, including elbows, bends, and sleeves. These components are vital for creating secure, leak-proof connections in piping systems where welding is not feasible or desired, or where frequent disassembly might be required. Stainless steel's inherent corrosion resistance makes these fittings ideal for applications in water treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage, and plumbing systems where hygiene and longevity are paramount. Importers are typically distributors, contractors, and manufacturers in various industrial and commercial sectors, seeking high-quality, durable, and easily installable pipe connection solutions. Exporters are often specialized manufacturers with precision machining capabilities. Key trade considerations include thread type (NPT, BSPT), pressure rating, material grade (e.g., 304L, 316L), and compliance with relevant industry standards for reliable performance.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
