Forged Alloy Steel Weld Neck Flange from Mexico
A forged flange made from alloy steel (not stainless) with a long tapered hub for welding to pipes, used in high-pressure oil and gas pipelines. It falls under HTS 7307.91.30.00 as it is not machined, tooled, or otherwise processed after forging, meeting the 'rough' flange criteria. These flanges provide strong, leak-proof connections in demanding industrial applications.

Import Tips
• Verify alloy steel composition excludes stainless (max 1.5% chromium) via mill certificates to avoid misclassification
• Include forging process documentation; customs may inspect for post-forging machining which shifts to other subheadings
