Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 7320 when importing springs and leaves made of iron or steel, such as leaf springs for vehicles or helical springs for machinery. Correct classification is crucial for compliance and accurate duty assessment.
When deciding between the HS-6 lines, consider that 732010 covers leaf-springs specifically designed for vehicles, while 732020 includes helical springs used in various applications, such as automotive and industrial machinery. If your product doesn't fit these categories, it may fall under 732090.
If you're unsure whether your product qualifies as a leaf spring or a helical spring, examine its shape and intended use. Leaf springs are typically flat and layered, while helical springs are coiled. Misclassification can lead to delays or penalties, so ensure you have clear product specifications.
