More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hot-finished from flat-rolled
Hot-finished U-sections from flat-rolled products classify separately from cold-formed.
If plated or coated during production
Clad or coated flat-rolled products before forming may classify under Chapter 72 coated steel headings.
If for specific end-use like furniture frames
Articles of iron/steel for particular uses (e.g., furniture components) shift to Chapter 73.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document the cold-forming process with production records to differentiate from hot-rolled equivalents
• Test for alloy content; exceeding Chapter 72 limits moves product to alloy steel subheadings
• Declare exact dimensions as narrow widths may trigger bar classifications under 7213
