Reading code 7201

The first two digits (72) place this code in chapter 72 — Iron and Steel. As a 4-digit heading it groups a whole product family; 6 and 8-digit codes underneath it get more specific. Remember: you can never invent a shorter code by truncating a longer one — only codes that exist in the official tariff are valid.

Primary iron and steel — ingots, HR/CR coils, bars, rods, TMT, and wire. The raw-material chapter for every steel trader, at 18% GST.
