Structures of iron or steel and parts thereof; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures
In plain English
This heading covers structures made of iron or steel, along with their parts, as well as plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, and tubes that are prepared for use in such structures. The items are categorized based on their specific function or form, including bridges and bridge sections, towers and lattice masts, doors, windows, frames, and thresholds, as well as props and similar equipment used for scaffolding, shuttering, or pit-propping. Any other iron or steel structures or parts that do not fit into these specific categories are grouped together in a separate classification.

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.
