How it is structured
7216.31 is a six-digit subheading. Its first two digits, 72, are the chapter; the first four, 7216, are heading 72.16; the last two, 31, identify the subheading within the heading.
Countries add their own digits after these six for their national tariff lines.
- Chapter 72
- Iron and steel
- Within the heading
- U, I or H sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, of a height of 80 mm or more
- Subheading 7216.31
- U sections
In other countries
No national tariff lines under 7216.31 are live on border.bot yet. Tariffs built on the Harmonized System (HS2022) use 7216.31 at six digits and add their own digits after it.
