HS Code 7224Alloy steel in ingots or other primary forms, semi-finished products of other alloy steel
2 six-digit codes · Heading 24 of 29 in Chapter 72 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
You may also see it written as HSN 7224.
Heading 7224 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Alloy steel in ingots or other primary forms, semi-finished products of other alloy steel” classify either at 722410 or at 722490, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 24 of 29 in Chapter 72, Iron and steel, which runs to 167 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 7224 covers
Heading 7224 is where customs places alloy steel before it is rolled into sheet, bar or wire. Alloy steel is steel with other elements added to change its strength or how it handles heat and wear.
Two kinds of goods fit here. The first is alloy steel cast as ingots or supplied in other primary forms. The second is semi-finished alloy steel, which is shaped and ready for later rolling or forging.
The heading belongs to the harmonized system classification, the common product list that customs offices around the world use. Because every country starts from the same six digits, a 7224 shipment is described the same way in most markets.
HS 722410 vs 722490: which subheading to use
The difference between 722410 and 722490 comes down to the form of the steel. Ask what the goods look like when they leave the mill.
- Use this for steel that has just been cast and not yet shaped further.
- Use this for alloy steel that has already been shaped into a basic form for later rolling or forging.
How 7224 differs from other Chapter 72 headings
Chapter 72 groups iron and steel by two things: the type of steel and how far it has been worked. Three checks usually settle the choice.
- Is it non-alloy steel? Heading 7224 is not used for these.
- Is it stainless steel? Stainless ingots, primary forms and semi-finished products go to 7218, even though stainless is also an alloy.
- Has it been rolled, drawn or made into wire? Wire goes to 7229.
- Is it a ferro-alloy? Ferro-alloys are additives used to make steel, not steel itself. They sit under 7202.
