Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "72" represent steel.

Specifically, Chapter 72 includes the following steel products:

• Semi-finished products of iron or steel: such as steel ingots, billets, plates, bars, wire, etc.
• Other steel products: such as steel pipes, structural steel, rails, steel sheets, steel structural components, steel nails, screws, bolts, steel ropes, etc.

Reason for classification:

The HS code system classifies goods based on their material, use, and manufacturing method. The first two digits "72" are chosen for steel because this category mainly targets products primarily composed of iron or steel. It covers a wide range of products from primary forms (semi-finished products) to various end-use products.

In summary, if the main component of the goods is iron or steel, and it falls within the above range, then its HS code is likely to start with "72".

The first four digits explanation: HS code: 7212

Classification description: Flat products of iron or non-alloy steel, with a width of less than 600 mm, coated, plated, or coated products.

Specific meaning: Refers to flat products of iron or non-alloy steel with a width of less than 600 mm, with surface treatment such as coating, plating, or coating.

6-digit explanation: HS code: 7212.30

Classification: Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, with a width of less than 600 mm, coated, plated, or coated: --> Other galvanized.

Meaning: Refers to flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel with a width of less than 600 mm that have undergone other galvanized treatment.

8-10-digit explanation: HS code: 7212301030 Classification: Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, with a width of less than 600 mm, with a surface, plated, or coated: --> Other galvanized: --> With a width of less than 300 mm: --> Thickness exceeding 0.25 mm or more --> With a width of less than 51 mm, in coil form Explanation: This HS code corresponds to flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel with a width of less than 600 mm, and have undergone galvanized treatment. Specifically, it refers to products with a width of less than 300 mm, a thickness exceeding 0.25 mm, a width of less than 51 mm, and in coil form.

Examples of products: * Galvanized steel coil with a width of 300 mm or less and thickness of more than 0.25 mm * Galvanized steel strip with a width of less than 51 mm, in coil form * Galvanized steel sheet with a width of less than 300 mm, thickness over 0.25 mm, and in coil form * Galvanized steel plate with a width of less than 51 mm, thickness over 0.25 mm, and in coil form
