Last updated: July 2026 dataStainless steel flanges are precision-machined or forged connection components used in chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food-grade, and high-purity piping systems where corrosion resistance is essential. The US schedule distinguishes flanges that have not been machined, tooled, or otherwise processed (7307211000) from those that have undergone such finishing (7307215000) — a distinction that affects both classification and value. India is the dominant supplier of stainless steel flanges to the US market, with Italy and Vietnam also significant sources. Section 232 tariffs apply, and importers sourcing from India should confirm whether any applicable trade-remedy orders are in scope.

7307211000 covers flanges in an as-forged, as-cast, or rough-formed state without subsequent machining or tooling. Once a flange has been faced, bored, drilled for bolt holes, or otherwise dimensionally finished to a pressure-class standard (such as ASME B16.5), it falls under 7307215000. Importers should obtain mill or manufacturer certifications confirming the processing state at time of export.
India has developed a concentrated forging and machining industry in cities like Ahmedabad and Mumbai that produces ASME/ANSI-compliant stainless flanges at competitive cost. Large integrated facilities capable of forging, heat-treating, and finish-machining in one location give Indian producers a lead-time and price advantage that has made them the primary source for US industrial buyers.
