About chapter 72
Chapter 72 covers iron and steel: pig iron, ingots, billets, bars, plates, sheets, wire and similar mill products, before they're worked into finished articles (chapter 73) or machinery.
Classification tip: Steel is one of the most frequent targets of anti-dumping and safeguard duties worldwide, so always check for trade-remedy measures on the specific steel grade and country of origin, not just the base HS tariff.

Codes and descriptions follow the WCO six-digit Harmonized System nomenclature. National tariff schedules extend these to 8–13 digits and set the actual duty rate, so confirm the full code for your destination country with your customs broker before filing. To copy a code, hover a row and use the copy button; every code has 7201-style dot notation ready for your commercial invoice.
Chapter 72 FAQ
What does HS code chapter 72 cover?
Chapter 72 of the Harmonized System covers: iron and steel. It belongs to section XV (Base Metals) and contains 29 four-digit headings, 7201–7229.
How many HS codes are in chapter 72?
Chapter 72 contains 29 four-digit headings and 167 six-digit subheadings. Countries subdivide these further (8–13 digits) in their national tariff schedules, so the full national count is larger.
Is HS code 7201 the same in every country?
Yes. The six-digit level of every code in this chapter is harmonised by the World Customs Organization and identical in all member countries. Digits beyond the sixth (for example the US 10-digit HTS or the EU 8-digit CN) are national and set the actual duty rate.
How do I choose the right code within chapter 72?
Work from the four-digit heading down: pick the heading that best matches your product, then the six-digit subheading that matches its material, form or processing. If two codes seem to fit, customs rules (the General Rules of Interpretation) decide, and when in doubt, confirm with your customs broker before filing.
