India supplies only a small slice of a world market that runs into billions, so the room to grow is real. diipl shows Indian makers exactly where their product fits and generates the verified buyers to capture it, and gives buyers a verified, meeting-ready Indian supplier, matched to their requirement.
HSN code and HS code for stainless steel pipes
The HSN code for stainless steel pipes is 730441 — steel, stainless; cold-drawn or cold-rolled (cold-reduced), tubes and pipes of circular cross-section. That is the 6-digit subheading, which is the same in every country that uses the Harmonized System.
In India the GST HSN code and the export ITC-HS code are the same nomenclature, so this line is the one your GST invoice and your shipping bill share. The classification is shown here; the applicable GST rate is not.

Commonly confused with HS 730441
Neighbouring subheadings in the same heading. Misclassification between them is the most common cause of a customs re-assessment.
- 730411 — Iron or steel (excluding cast iron); seamless, line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines, of stainless steel
- 730419 — Iron or steel (excluding cast iron or stainless steel); seamless, line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines
- 730422 — Steel, stainless; seamless, drill pipe, of a kind used in drilling for oil or gas
- 730423 — Iron or steel (excluding cast iron or stainless steel); seamless, drill pipe, of a kind used in drilling for oil or gas
- 730424 — Steel, stainless; seamless, casing and tubing, of a kind used in drilling for oil or gas
A classification is a fact any lookup can give you. HS 730441 sits in chapter 73 (base metals & metal products), next to 5 neighbouring subheadings under heading 7304 that differ by material, construction or specification. Getting that choice right changes the duty your buyer pays. But the correct code still does not tell you which countries are buying stainless steel pipes right now, what duty each of them charges on the Indian line, or whether that demand has grown or faded. Those answers come from trade data, not from a code table, and they are what decides whether a market is worth entering at all. diipl's free Market Research Report answers them for your specific product.
The 6-digit line is international. India requires the 8-digit ITC-HS for both import and export. Look up every 8-digit line under 730441 free, with whether India actually exported on it, in the HS code finder. What a code table cannot tell you is where the product sells.
Where does your stainless steel pipes fit in the global market?
India exported about $251 million of cold-drawn and cold-rolled stainless steel tubes and pipes in FY25-26, from a steel-processing base concentrated around Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Jamnagar. Seamless and welded stainless pipe, boiler and heat-exchanger tube, hydraulic and instrumentation tube and U-bends move into refineries, chemical and fertiliser plants, shipbuilders, and oil and gas contractors worldwide. Buyers qualify Indian pipe manufacturers on ASTM A213 and A312 conformity, PED and AD 2000 approval for Europe, NACE MR0175 compliance for sour service, third-party inspection by agencies such as TUV or Lloyd's, and full mill test certificates with heat-number traceability. Grade substitution is the risk buyers most fear here, which makes documented traceability and positive material identification decisive rather than optional. diipl identifies the markets and project pipelines where an Indian pipe maker's grade range and approvals genuinely qualify, generates verified buyers there, and delivers a meeting with the specification already matched. diipl pinpoints the high-demand, low-tariff markets where you can win, generates the verified buyers there, and secures your compliance as you scale to the world.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HS code for stainless steel pipes?
The HS code for stainless steel pipes is 730441 — steel, stainless; cold-drawn or cold-rolled (cold-reduced), tubes and pipes of circular cross-section. That is the 6-digit subheading, which is identical in every country using the Harmonized System. India files an 8-digit ITC-HS line on the shipping bill. You can look up every 8-digit line under 730441 free, and whether India actually exported on it, in the diipl HS code finder.
What is the difference between the 6-digit HS code and the 8-digit ITC-HS code?
The first 6 digits are the international Harmonized System subheading, the same in every member country. India extends it to 8 digits as the ITC-HS line, and that is what appears on your shipping bill. The 8-digit line decides the duty your buyer pays, whether an FTA preferential rate and certificate of origin apply, your RoDTEP or drawback rate, and whether an export licence is required. Indian ITC-HS lines are re-notified periodically, so a code that was correct last year may no longer be active.
