HS code for Nickel pipe fittings: 7507.20
Nickel, tube and pipe fittings.
Classification of nickel pipe fittings under HS 7507.20
Nickel pipe fittings are classified under HS code 750720 because they are specifically manufactured from nickel or nickel alloys for the purpose of connecting, closing, or branching tubes and pipes. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) and the Chapter 75 notes, articles made of nickel alloys are classified based on the predominant metal by weight. Since these fittings are finished articles of nickel metallurgy, they fall under the "Nickel and articles thereof" chapter. The classification is determined by the physical form (fittings) and the material composition (nickel alloy). These components are essential in chemical processing and marine environments where corrosion resistance is paramount. The classification process involves verifying that the nickel content is at least 1.5% by weight and that no other element exceeds the nickel content, or that the alloy meets the specific definitions of nickel alloys provided in the legal notes to Section XV.

Codes often confused with 7507.20
Common mistake. It is common to see these items misclassified under HS code 7307, which covers tube or pipe fittings of iron or steel. This error usually occurs when the metallurgical composition is not clearly identified on the commercial invoice or when the nickel content is misunderstood. Additionally, they are sometimes confused with HS codes 750711 or 750712, which are reserved for the tubes and pipes themselves rather than the fittings. Another potential error is classification under 8481 if the fitting includes a valve mechanism, as valves are classified by function rather than material. Importers must also distinguish between nickel fittings and those made of copper-nickel alloys, which might fall under Chapter 74 if copper is the predominant metal.
Top exporters and importers of HS 750720 (the code used for nickel pipe fittings), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 750720 (the code used for nickel pipe fittings) in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 22% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 20% of world imports. Countries that did not report 2025 data are estimated from partner records, which can understate them.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
