Shandong Zhihua Pipe Industrial Co Ltd, an exporter of steel pipe fittings, couplings and rubber gaskets, recorded two recent U.S. shipments: a 47.8‑ton container from Shekou to the New York/Newark area in July 2024 (HS 730719) for Tri State Plumbing Supply and a 1.65‑ton consignment from Qingdao to Tacoma in November 2023 (HS 400270) for Smith Equipment. Transactions are infrequent but involve full container loads (4 TEU and 1.5 TEU respectively) and reputable buyers, indicating niche but reliable demand for high‑spec pipe accessories. For buyers, Zhihua offers consistent product quality, a focused portfolio, and clear HS‑code classification, though volume signals modest market penetration. For customs brokers, the company’s documentation shows stable HS‑code usage, predictable China‑to‑U.S. west‑coast routing, and manageable TEU sizes, supporting efficient clearance and low risk of classification disputes.
