HS Code 8307Tubing; flexible, with or without fittings, of base metal

What HS code 8307 covers

In plain words, this heading is flexible metal tubing. The tube bends. It is made of base metal. It may come bare, or it may come with end fittings already attached. Both count. Some traders call it flexible steel tubing, and some call it metal hose with fittings. In customs papers the same goods sit under one heading.

The first four digits are the same. The Harmonized System is kept by the World Customs Organization, so the heading means the same thing in every member country.

The heading belongs to Section XV, base metals, and to Chapter 83, a chapter of base metal articles that do not fit anywhere else. You can see the whole chapter on the page for [Chapter 83](/hs-codes/83).

HS 830710 vs 830790: choosing the right subheading

The only test between the two codes is the metal. Look at what the tubing is made of.

Use 830710 when the flexible tubing is made of iron or steel. This is the code people search for when they want flexible steel tubing. Use 830790 when the tubing is made of any other base metal. That makes it a catch-all for non-ferrous flexible tubing and for any base metal that is not iron or steel.

Fittings do not change the answer. Tubing with fittings and tubing without fittings both stay in this heading.

These are the six-digit codes shared by all countries. Each country adds its own longer lines and sets its own tariff rates, so we do not list rates here. If you are unsure, try the [HS code classifier](/hs-classifier) and then check the live records to see how other shippers filed similar goods.

Flexible tubing vs nearby Chapter 83 headings

Several neighbouring headings sound close to this one. Check them before you settle on a code.

Welding and brazing supplies go to [HS 8311](/hs-codes/83/8311). That heading covers wires, rods, tubes, plates and electrodes of a kind used for soldering, brazing, welding or metal spraying. A tube in that heading is a consumable for joining metal. It is not a flexible hose.

Parts that hold or fit things to furniture, doors, windows and trunks go to [HS 8302](/hs-codes/83/8302). Bottle stoppers, caps, lids and other packaging accessories go to [HS 8309](/hs-codes/83/8309). If your product is a bendable tube, none of these fit, and 8307 is the place to look.
