Last updated: April 2026 dataSITC 74780 is the residual heading for flow-control fittings — including ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, butterfly valves, and specialty cocks — that do not fall under the more specific valve headings for pressure-reducing, hydraulic/pneumatic, check, or safety functions. The breadth of this category means it spans applications from residential plumbing to refinery piping, with body materials ranging from PVC and brass to high-alloy steel. Section 301 tariffs and, in some cases, antidumping orders have affected imports of certain valve types from specific origins, making origin and material documentation especially important at entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, butterfly valves, plug valves, and needle valves generally fall here when they are not designed specifically for pressure-reducing, hydraulic/pneumatic transmission, check, or safety-relief functions. The residual nature of this heading means classification disputes are common, and a binding ruling from CBP can provide certainty for high-volume importers.
A mill certificate or manufacturer's material declaration specifying the alloy or material grade (e.g., WCB carbon steel, CF8M stainless, LF2 low-temperature carbon steel) is the standard supporting document. This is particularly important because HTS subheadings for valves are often differentiated by body material, and CBP may request this documentation during examination.
