Railway or tramway track constructions of iron or steel; rails, check and track rails, switch blades, crossing frogs, point rods, sleepers, fish-plates, chair wedges, sole plates, bedplates, ties and the like
In plain English
This category covers railway or tramway track structures made of iron or steel, including rails, switch blades, crossing frogs, point rods, sleepers, fish-plates, chair wedges, sole plates, and bedplates. The items are grouped into specific sections based on their function, such as separating rails from other crossing components like switch blades and point rods. Another group combines fish-plates and sole plates, while a final section captures all other track construction materials not listed elsewhere in this category.

Chapter 73 classification notes
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.
