## How it is structured

7209.16 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 72, are the chapter; the first four, 7209, are heading 72.09; the last two, 16, identify the subheading within the heading.

Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.

- Chapter 72: Iron and steel
- Heading 72.09: Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated
- Within the heading: In coils, not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced)
- Subheading 7209.16: Of a thickness exceeding 1mm but less than 3mm

## In other countries

No national tariff lines under 7209.16 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 7209.16 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
