Heading 7216 — Iron or non-alloy steel, angles, shapes and sections
Chapter 72: Iron and steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 721661 when importing or exporting cold-formed or cold-finished iron or non-alloy steel angles, shapes, or sections made from flat-rolled products. For example, if you're shipping cold-formed steel angles used in construction, this code applies.
This code specifically covers products that are cold-formed or cold-finished, distinguishing them from hot-rolled alternatives. For instance, if you have hot-rolled steel angles, you would classify them under a different HS code, such as 7216.10.
The 721661 line is part of a broader category that includes various shapes and sections of iron or non-alloy steel. If you're dealing with flat-rolled products that are then shaped into angles or sections, this is the correct classification.
When considering similar products, note that 721669 covers other cold-formed shapes not specifically mentioned in 721661, which may include more complex profiles or sections.
