The US schedule separates sleeves/couplings (7307221000) from elbows and bends (7307225000), reflecting different end-use demand patterns and historical trade-remedy exposure. China is the leading supplier, with Taiwan and South Korea also significant. Importers should be aware that stainless steel pipe fittings from China have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders, making scope review a mandatory pre-entry step.
