HEADING

CHAPTER

72Iron and steel

In plain English

This category covers iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods that have been hot-rolled and are wound into irregular coils. The items are split based on their physical features and size. One group includes bars with surface deformations like ribs or grooves created during rolling, while another consists of free-cutting steel. The remaining items are divided by thickness, separating those with a circular cross-section smaller than 14mm from those measuring 14mm or larger.

Chapter 72 classification notes

Chapter 72 covers significant Section 232 (US) tariff items; trade in raw steel attracts safeguard duties in many destinations.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Stainless vs. carbon steel — chemistry-based; alloy content determines heading.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
