SITCSection 6
U.S. imports of stainless steel threaded elbows, bends & sleeves (SITC 67954) totaled $7.6M in April 2026, traded with 35 countries.
Importers of Stainless Steel Threaded Elbows, Bends & Sleeves paid $4.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 57% on $7.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataThreaded connection geometry sets these stainless steel fittings apart from butt-weld types: elbows, bends, and sleeves with NPT or BSP threads are used where disassembly and maintenance access are priorities, common in instrumentation lines, small-bore process piping, and sanitary systems. The threaded form factor limits pressure ratings compared to butt-weld alternatives, so specification engineers typically restrict their use to lower-pressure service classes. Like other stainless steel pipe fittings, these articles may be subject to antidumping orders and Section 232 tariffs depending on origin.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Threaded fittings are generally limited to lower pressure classes (commonly Class 3000 and below per ASME B16.11) because the thread engagement introduces stress concentration points. Butt-weld fittings, by contrast, create a continuous weld joint and are preferred for high-pressure, high-temperature, or cyclic-service applications. Specifying the wrong connection type can be a code-compliance issue in regulated industries.
Not necessarily. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders on stainless steel pipe fittings have historically distinguished between threaded and butt-weld product forms, and scope language varies by order and origin. Importers should obtain a scope ruling or review the specific order's product description carefully before assuming coverage or exclusion.
