Forged Iron Pipe Tee from Japan
Rough-forged tee fitting from iron or nonalloy steel, allowing a pipe branch at 90 degrees from the main line. It qualifies for HTS 7307.99.10.00 due to being unprocessed after forging, ideal for rough-in plumbing in buildings. No cross-sectional wire dimensions apply as it's a solid forged piece.

Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'rough forgings' to facilitate customs verification of no post-processing
• Test for alloy elements if supplier sources vary, preventing duty miscalculation
• Bundle in bulk quantities to avoid retail set classification under 7326
