HS Code 7301Iron or steel sheet piling, whether or not drilled, punched or made from assembled elements; welded angles, shapes and sections, of iron or steel

What HS code 7301 covers

Heading 7301 names two kinds of goods made of iron or steel. One is sheet piling. The other is angles, shapes and sections that are welded.

Sheet piling can be plain. The words "whether or not" mean both forms are covered. Holes or extra parts do not move the goods to another heading.

You may see the same heading called HSN code 7301 or HTS code 7301. These are local names for one heading number. The goods are described the same way, so the product on the invoice is what counts.

HS 730110 vs 730120: choosing the right code

The two codes split the heading by product type. Ask what the goods are first. Then ask how they were made.

Choose 730110 if the goods are sheet piling. This is true even if the piles are drilled, punched or built from assembled elements.

Choose 730120 if the goods are angles, shapes or sections and they are welded. The word welded matters. A section that is not welded does not fit this code.

If you cannot tell, test your product in the HS code classifier. Match your goods to the full wording of the code, not only to its short name.

Is sheet piling classified under 7301 or 7308?

Plain sheet piling belongs in 7301. Heading 7308 is a different heading. It covers structures of iron or steel and their parts. It also covers plates, rods, angles, shapes, sections and tubes that are prepared for use in structures.

So the real question is how far the goods have gone toward becoming a structure. If they are only welded sections, read the 730120 wording. If they are made ready for use in a structure, read the 7308 wording before you decide.

Some nearby headings are also easy to mix up. Hollow goods go to 7306 when they are not seamless, and to 7304 when they are seamless. Rails, sleepers and other railway track materials go to 7302.

If your goods are hollow or are track parts, check those headings first.
