Heading 7308Structures of iron or steel and parts thereof; plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections, tubes and the like, prepared for use in structures

Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 730820 when importing or exporting iron or steel structures, particularly those designed as towers and lattice masts. For instance, a shipment of steel lattice towers used for telecommunications would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers structures and parts made from iron or steel, including items like radio towers and wind turbine masts. In contrast, HS-6 730810 applies to prefabricated buildings, which are not classified as structures like towers.

When dealing with HS-6 730820, it’s essential to differentiate between various types of steel products. For example, while HS-6 730830 includes steel poles and posts, this line focuses on more complex structures like masts.

If your shipment includes assembled or disassembled lattice masts, this is the correct classification. Be mindful that other steel products, such as rods or plates, may fall under different HS codes.
