HS HEADING 7301

Iron or steel sheet piling, whether or not drilled, punched or made from assembled elements; welded angles, shapes and sections, of iron or steel

In plain English

This heading covers iron or steel sheet piling, which may be drilled, punched, or constructed from assembled parts, as well as welded angles, shapes, and sections. The classification separates these items into two groups based on their form. One group consists specifically of the sheet piling described above. The other group includes the welded angles, shapes, and sections.

Chapter 73 classification notes

Heavily subject to trade defense measures. US Section 232 tariffs (25%) apply to most steel imports. EU safeguard quotas in effect. Anti-dumping duties common on Chinese, Indian, and Turkish steel.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Stainless steel articles should be classified under the specific stainless steel headings, not general iron/steel. Alloy steel has its own subheadings.

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.
