Rough Forged Stainless Steel Slip-On Flange

Unfinished forged stainless steel slip-on flange for easy pipe attachment via welding, retaining forging scale and no surface treatment. Falls under HTS 7307.21.10.00 due to stainless steel construction and lack of any post-forging processing. Common in oil and gas pipeline assemblies.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7307.22.10.00Lower: 35% vs 38.3%

If of stainless steel but machined post-forging

Machined stainless flanges have separate provisions excluding rough forgings.

7207.20.00Lower: 35% vs 38.3%

If in semi-finished billet form before flange shaping

Ingots, blooms, or billets of stainless steel precede forged shapes in production.

7304.39.00.40Lower: 35% vs 38.3%

If classified as seamless stainless tubes rather than fittings

Dimensional ambiguity might lead to tube classification if not clearly a flange.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide photos or samples showing forging imperfections to Customs for verification of 'not processed' status

Ensure country-of-origin marking on forgings complies with stainless steel origin rules for duty preferences

Avoid common pitfall of mixing with machined inventory; segregate shipments clearly
