Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "73" represent iron and steel products.

Specifically, this chapter covers the following main contents:

• Steel structural components: For example, bridges, buildings, towers, etc.
• Cast iron products: For example, pipes, pipe fittings, radiators, etc.
• Steel products: For example, steel plates, steel pipes, steel wires, nails, bolts, nuts, etc.
• Other iron and steel products: For example, springs, chains, fasteners, etc.

Reason for classification:

The establishment of the "73" chapter is to classify and manage various forms of iron and steel products, because iron and steel are important industrial raw materials and building materials, with large production and trade volumes, and require specialized classification for statistics, taxation, and regulation.

In short, if the main component of the product is iron or steel, and it belongs to structural components, cast iron products, steel products, or other iron and steel products, it is likely to be classified under the HS code "73" chapter.

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

The first four digits explanation: 7302: Railway or tramway track laying materials made of iron or steel, including: rails, guide rails and toothed rails, switch points, crossing switches, switch rods, and other crossing switch parts, sleepers (rail ties), fish plates, rail seats, rail wedges, base plates (base plates), rail clamps, bed plates, rail ties, and other specialized materials used to connect or fix rails.

6-digit explanation: Classification: Railway or tramway track laying materials, made of iron or steel, including: rails, guide rails, switch rails, crossing rails, switch rods, and other crossing parts, sleepers (rail ties), fish plates, rail seats, rail wedges, base plates, rail clamps, rail beds, rail connectors, and other specialized rail connectors or fixing components.

Specific meaning: Rail: made of alloy steel, used for other purposes.

8-10 digit explanation: hscode: 7302101015 Classification: Railway or tramway track building materials, including: rails, guide rails and switch rails, switches, crossing switches, switch rods, and other crossing switch parts, sleepers (rail ties), fish plates, chair plates, wedges, base plates (base plates), rail clamps, bed plates, rail ties, and other specialized materials used to connect or fix rails --> rail --> iron or non-alloy steel --> new --> not heat-treated --> other --> more than 30 kilograms per meter Explanation: This HSCODE belongs to the classification of rail for railway or tramway track building materials, specifically rails made of iron or non-alloy steel, new, not heat-treated, and weighing more than 30 kilograms per meter.

Examples of products: * Steel rail for railway * Non-alloy steel rail for tramway * New, unheated steel rail with a weight of more than 30 kg/m * Heavy-duty rail for high-speed rail systems * Steel rail used in industrial tracks * Standard rail for railway construction
