Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "55" represent steel.

Specifically, Chapter 55 covers the following range of steel products:

• Semi-finished steel products: Such as plates, strips, tubes, and shaped sections.
• Flat-rolled steel products: Including hot-rolled, cold-rolled, galvanized, and various types of flat steel.
• Other steel products: Such as steel wires, steel bars, reinforcing bars, steel nails, steel bolts, etc.

Therefore, if the main component of the product is steel, and it is a semi-finished product or a product that has undergone a certain degree of processing, it is usually classified under Chapter 55.

To make a more accurate determination, it is also necessary to check the full HS code and the specific material, use, and processing level of the product.
