Cast fittings - Of non-malleable cast iron
Classification of malleable iron fittings - CN 730711
CN code 730711 covers tube or pipe fittings of malleable cast iron. Fittings are pipe-connecting elements - elbows, tees, crosses, reducers, couplings, caps, unions and others. Malleable iron is produced by prolonged annealing of white cast iron castings, giving higher ductility than grey iron. Malleable iron fittings are mainly used in water, gas and steam installations at low to medium pressures. Produced per EN 10242 (threaded fittings) or ISO 49. Classification requires malleable iron material and pipe fitting form.
Import requirements for malleable fittings CN 730711
Importing under CN 730711 follows Union Customs Code. Pressure fittings under PED 2014/68/EU with CE marking. EN 10242 specifies requirements for threaded fittings. Documents: commercial invoice, material certificate, transport documents, certificate of origin. Drinking water fittings require hygienic approval. Malleable iron fittings as finished Chapter 73 products are generally not subject to CBAM. Current regulations should be verified.
Trade measures for malleable fittings CN 730711
Fittings under 730711 may be subject to safeguard TRQ with 25% duty. AD duties may apply to fittings from China. Imports from Russia/Belarus sanctioned. Malleable iron fittings are a traditional installation market segment. Major suppliers: China, India, Turkey, EU. Total costs: MFN, AD, safeguard, VAT. TARIC for rates.
Customs classification of malleable cast iron tube fittings (CN 7307 11)
CN code 7307 11 of the Combined Nomenclature covers malleable cast iron tube fittings within Chapter 73, which deals with articles of iron or steel. Classification in this chapter is based on the type of article, its intended use, manufacturing method (casting, forging, welding, stamping) and base material (cast iron, non-alloy steel, stainless steel or alloy steel). Correct classification requires analysis of technical documentation. Where classification is uncertain, importers can obtain Binding Tariff Information (BTI) ruling from customs authorities, valid for three years throughout.
Frequently asked questions
What is malleable cast iron in fittings under CN 730711?
Malleable iron is produced by prolonged annealing of white cast iron at 900-950 degrees Celsius. This transforms the cementite microstructure into temper graphite, giving higher ductility and impact resistance than grey iron. Malleable fittings are more resistant to impacts and vibrations.
What standards apply to threaded malleable fittings?
Threaded malleable iron fittings are governed by EN 10242 specifying dimensions, threads, tolerances and material requirements. Fittings must be galvanised (zinc-coated) for water applications. Material certificate and declaration of conformity are mandatory.
Are malleable iron fittings subject to CBAM?
Malleable iron fittings as finished Chapter 73 products are generally not subject to CBAM. However, importers should verify the current scope as the product list may be updated. Absence of CBAM does not exempt from other customs requirements.
What is the EU duty rate for CN code 7307 11 in 2026?
The duty rate for CN code 7307 11 (malleable cast iron tube fittings) is set in the TARIC tariff and depends on the country of origin. Preferential rates may apply under EU trade agreements. The current rate can be checked in the European.
