HS Code 7216 — Iron or Non-Alloy Steel Angles, Shapes and Sections
This code covers structural steel shapes like I-beams, H-beams, U-channels, and L-shaped angles. These products are the skeletal components for buildings, bridges, and infrastructure, made from standard non-alloy steel.
What's included
- Steel angles (L-beams)
- U-channels
- I-beams and H-sections
- Bulb flats for shipbuilding
What's excluded
- Drilled or painted structural components → use
7308(If fabricated (drilled, cut to shape, or ready for assembly), they move to Chapter 73.) - Stainless steel angles → use
7222(Stainless steel material shifts the code.)
Common examples
- Hot-rolled steel L-angle 50x50mm
- Standard U-channel for framing
- HEB 200 European H-beam
- T-section steel bars
Frequently asked questions
Are these beams considered 'fabricated'?
No, 7216 is for basic shapes. If they are already drilled or welded into parts of a building, they fall under HS 7308.
