Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 720839 when importing or exporting hot-rolled flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products in coils, with a thickness of less than 3mm and a width of 600mm or more. For instance, a shipment of hot-rolled steel coils used for automotive manufacturing would fall under this classification.
This code specifically covers flat-rolled products that are not clad, plated, or coated, distinguishing them from HS-6 720840, which includes similar products but with a thickness of 3mm or more. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate tariff application.
When classifying products, it’s important to note that HS-6 720839 applies to coils without patterns in relief, which sets it apart from decorative or patterned steel products. If your product has any surface textures or coatings, you may need to explore other codes.
Look for products like steel coils used in construction, automotive parts, or appliance manufacturing when considering this HS code. Proper classification ensures compliance with customs regulations and accurate duty assessments.
