HS Code 7308 — Steel Structures and Structural Parts
This broad code covers assembled iron or steel structures and parts thereof that have been prepared for use in construction. This includes bridges, building frameworks, pit-head frames, and even smaller items like railings. These items are typically drilled, notched, or welded specifically for a particular design.

- Prefabricated steel bridge sections
- Transmission towers and pylons
- Door and window frames (iron/steel)
- Steel roofing frameworks
What's excluded
- Prefabricated buildings → use
9406(Complete buildings with walls/roofs are 9406, not 7308.) - Generic beams (unworked) → use
7216(Plain steel beams not yet prepared for a structure are raw steel.)
Common examples

Frequently asked questions
When does a beam become a structure (7308) instead of steel (7216)?
Once it is worked (drilled, bent, or welded) into a specific part of a structure, it moves to 7308.
