Heading 7326 — Iron or steel; articles, n.e.c. in chapter 73
Chapter 73: Articles of iron or steel
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 732611 when importing or exporting forged or stamped iron or steel grinding balls designed for use in mills. For example, if you are shipping a batch of forged grinding balls weighing 500 kg for a mining operation, this is the correct code.
This code is specific to grinding balls and similar articles, distinguishing them from other iron or steel products in the same category. For instance, HS-6 732612 covers cast grinding balls, which are different in manufacturing process and application.
When classifying products under this heading, it’s essential to note that only forged or stamped items are included in 732611. If your product is further worked or treated, it may fall under a different subheading.
If you're unsure whether your grinding balls qualify under this code, consider the manufacturing process and end-use. Items that are simply iron or steel without the specific forging or stamping may not fit here.
