CHAPTER

73

Articles of iron or steel

Common items in this chapter

  • Steel tubes and pipes (7304-7306)
  • Screws and bolts (7318)
  • Wire (7312)
  • Chains (7315)
  • Steel structures (7308)

Classification notes

Heavily subject to trade defense measures. US Section 232 tariffs (25%) apply to most steel imports. EU safeguard quotas in effect. Anti-dumping duties common on Chinese, Indian, and Turkish steel.

Frequent misclassification

Stainless steel articles should be classified under the specific stainless steel headings, not general iron/steel. Alloy steel has its own subheadings.
