Harmonized System Code Classification

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

Specifically, Chapter 72 includes the following steel products:

• Iron and steel products: Including various shapes, sizes, and qualities of iron and steel products, such as plates, bars, sections, tubes, wires, etc.
• Alloy steel: Steel containing two or more elements, used to improve the strength and corrosion resistance of the steel.
• Cast iron products: Iron products produced through casting processes, such as pipes, valves, machine tool beds, etc.

Therefore, if your product is steel or a steel product, its HS code is likely to start with "72".

To more accurately determine the HS code of the product, it is also necessary to consider the specific material, shape, and use of the product.
