Products classified under HTS 7302.30.00.00
Steel Rail Switch Tongues
Tapered steel tongues forming the movable portion of railway switch points. HTS 7302.30.00.00 designates these as switch blades or other crossing pieces for track construction.
Steel Switch Blades for Railway Tracks
Movable steel plates used in railway switches to guide trains onto different tracks by aligning with the rail. Classified under HTS 7302.30.00.00 as switch blades, essential components of railway track construction made of iron or steel.
Railway Crossing Frogs
Cast steel frogs that allow train wheels to cross from one rail to another at intersections without derailing. HTS 7302.30.00.00 covers these as crossing pieces specialized for railway track construction.
Point Rods for Rail Switches
Steel rods connecting switch points to operate the movable blades in railway turnouts. Falls under HTS 7302.30.00.00 as point rods, specialized material for jointing and operating railway track switches.
Manganese Steel Rail Crossovers
High-manganese steel crossing pieces enabling trains to switch tracks at junctions. HTS 7302.30.00.00 includes these as other crossing pieces for railway or tramway track construction.
Tramway Crossing Frogs
Steel frogs designed for urban tramway track intersections to accommodate lighter loads. HTS 7302.30.00.00 explicitly includes tramway track construction materials like these crossing pieces.
Railway Guard Rails for Switches
Fixed steel rails alongside main rails at switches to guide wheel flanges safely. Included as other crossing pieces under HTS 7302.30.00.00 for railway track construction.
