Chapter 72 classification notes

Chapter 72 covers significant Section 232 (US) tariff items; trade in raw steel attracts safeguard duties in many destinations.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Stainless vs. carbon steel — chemistry-based; alloy content determines heading.

Classification certainty
