4 six-digit codes · Heading 7 of 29 in Chapter 72 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 7207 is the heading for semi-finished steel made from plain, non-alloy grades. Use this page to tell its four subheadings apart and to find shipment records.
Goods answering to “Iron or non-alloy steel; semi-finished products thereof” split into 4 six-digit codes, 720711 through 720720. Each one carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 7 of 29 in Chapter 72, Iron and steel, which runs to 167 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 7207
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 720711 | Iron or non-alloy steel; semi-finished products of iron or non-alloy steel; containing by weight less than 0.25% of carbon, of rectangular (including square) cross-section, width less than twice thickness |
| 720712 | Iron or non-alloy steel; semi-finished products of iron or non-alloy steel; containing by weight less than 0.25% of carbon, of rectangular (other than square) cross-section |
| 720719 | Iron or non-alloy steel; semi-finished products of iron or non-alloy steel, containing by weight less than 0.25% of carbon, other than rectangular or square cross-section |
| 720720 | Iron or non-alloy steel; semi-finished products of iron or non-alloy steel, containing by weight 0.25% or more of carbon |
HS 7207 subheadings: what sets each code apart
Two tests split this heading. The first test is carbon content. The second is the shape of the cross-section, and it only applies to the low-carbon codes. The table above has the full wording. The list below keeps only the part that makes each code different.
You may see the same heading written as HSN code 7207 or HTS 7207. These labels share one product definition. It comes from the Harmonized System, which the WCO classification keeps aligned across countries. National tariffs only add digits after the first six.
- 720712: low carbon, rectangular but not square.
- 720719: low carbon, any shape that is neither rectangular nor square.
- 720720: higher carbon, with no shape test.
Iron or non-alloy steel HS code 7207: how to choose the right code
Start with paperwork. A mill certificate or product sheet normally states carbon by weight. Compare that figure with the limit in the code wording. This one check settles whether you are in 720720 or in the low-carbon group.
For the low-carbon group, measure the product. Cut across it in your mind and look at the outline. Then compare the width with the thickness. A rectangle that is wider than twice its thickness is not covered by the first low-carbon code. Keep a note of how you reached your choice. Customs officers may ask for it.
7207 vs related semi-finished headings
Many wrong filings come from picking a neighbouring heading. Check these before you settle on 7207.
Spongy ferrous products made by direct reduction of ore sit in 7203. Both come earlier in the process than the shapes in 7207.
The type of steel matters too. Stainless steel and its semi-finished products belong in 7218. Steel with added alloying elements belongs in 7224. Decide the steel type first and the shape second.

Your product may be worked further than a semi-finished shape. For bars and rods that are not worked beyond forging or hot rolling, look at 7214. If you are unsure which heading fits, try the HS code classifier, or return to the chapter overview to browse every heading.
