Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 720510 when importing or exporting granules and powders made from pig iron or steel. For example, if you're shipping a 1-ton bag of iron powder used in metalworking, this is the appropriate code.
This code specifically covers granules and powders derived from pig iron, spiegeleisen, or iron and steel. It's important to distinguish this from HS-6 720511, which refers to granules and powders of iron or steel that are not derived from pig iron.
When classifying your product, note that HS-6 720510 includes materials that may be used in manufacturing processes, such as powder metallurgy or as additives in steel production. If your shipment consists of iron granules for use in casting, this is the right classification.
Be aware that products like iron filings or dust, which might seem similar, could fall under different codes, such as HS-6 720520 for iron powders that are not specifically from pig iron.
