7307.19.90 - Other

This category, HTS 7307.19.90, encompasses "Other" tube or pipe fittings made of cast iron or steel. It serves as a residual category for cast fittings that do not fall under more specific subheadings. These fittings are essential components used to connect, direct, or modify the flow of fluids or gases through pipes and tubes made from iron or steel. Their function can range from simple joining to complex diversions and pressure management within a piping system.

Distinct from its sibling category, 7307.19.30 (Ductile fittings), this classification specifically excludes fittings made from ductile iron. Therefore, the primary differentiating factor is the material composition and manufacturing process of the cast fitting, with this subheading focusing on cast iron or steel fittings that are not of the ductile iron variety. This distinction ensures that specific types of cast fittings are accurately accounted for.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subheading 7307.19.90.30 covers "Unions," which are specialized fittings designed to allow for easy disconnection and reconnection of pipes. The remaining goods under this code are then classified as "Other," capturing all remaining cast iron or steel fittings that are not unions and are not ductile iron. This tiered approach allows for precise classification of a wide array of cast pipe fittings.
