Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the C-purlin is hot-rolled rather than cold-formed
Hot-rolled C-sections are classified under a different subheading for shapes of iron or nonalloy steel.
If the purlin is part of a prefabricated building structure
Structures and parts of structures of iron or steel may be classified under heading 7308.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the steel is nonalloy and cold-formed; provide a certificate of analysis to verify composition
• Ensure the purlin is not further worked, such as with holes or cutouts, which could alter classification
• Declare the exact dimensions and weight for accurate duty calculation
