The first two digits of the HS code "72" represent steel.
Specifically, Chapter 72 covers the following steel products:
- Iron and steel, including alloy steel: such as steel ingots, steel billets, steel plates, steel pipes, steel bars, steel wires, steel rails, angle steel, channel steel, flat steel, etc.
- Various shapes and sizes of steel products, whether unprocessed, semi-finished, or finished.
- Alloy steel, which is steel containing other elements (such as manganese, chromium, nickel, etc.) to improve its properties.
Therefore, if your product is made of steel or its main component is steel, its HS code is likely to start with "72".
To determine the classification more accurately, you also need to consider the product's specific composition, shape, use, and degree of processing.

Customer Reviews
I found the classification of non-alloy steel wire under 7217.20 very helpful. The examples made it easier to understand what the code covers.
This site helped me identify the correct HS code for my steel products. The 8-10 digit explanation was exactly what I needed for customs clearance.
The information is there, but I wish there were more details on the tariff rates for steel wire. Still, it's better than nothing.
The section on the classification of galvanized steel wire was really useful. I'm glad it included specific examples like fencing wire and industrial use.
I was confused about the difference between 7217 and 721720. This site clarified it perfectly with the example products and detailed explanation.
