HS Code 7307.29 – Steel, stainless; tube or pipe fittings, n.e.c. in item no. 7307.2
HS code 7307.29 is the 6-digit subheading for steel, stainless, tube or pipe fittings, n.e.c. in item no. 7307.2. It is used for stainless steel compression fittings, stainless steel sanitary clamps, stainless steel quick-connect couplings, stainless steel instrument fittings and stainless steel ferrule fittings.
What HS 7307.29 covers
This 'not elsewhere specified' category for stainless steel tube or pipe fittings covers a diverse range of components that don't fall under the more specific subheadings like flanges, threaded fittings, or butt-welding fittings within 7307.2. This includes various specialized or less common types of stainless steel connectors, clamps, and other joining elements. These fittings are crucial for niche applications in industries requiring stainless steel's corrosion resistance and hygienic properties, such as specialized machinery, laboratory equipment, and custom fabrication projects. Importers are often specialized manufacturers, research institutions, and distributors seeking unique or custom-made stainless steel solutions. Exporters are typically specialized fabricators and manufacturers with advanced metalworking capabilities. Key trade considerations include specific design, material grade, surface finish, and adherence to unique project specifications for specialized industrial uses.

Codes often confused with 7307.29
Common mistake. This is a residual category, so misclassification often occurs when more specific stainless steel fitting codes (730721, 730722, 730723) are overlooked, or if they are mistakenly classified as non-stainless steel fittings (730799).

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).
