7301.20.10.00 - Of iron or nonalloy steel

This HTS category, 7301.20.10.00, specifically covers angles, shapes, and sections made from iron or nonalloy steel. These are typically structural components used in construction and engineering. They are distinguished from their siblings by their material composition, with this category exclusively encompassing items manufactured from iron or nonalloy steel, as opposed to alloy steels which fall under a different classification.

The goods classified here include a wide array of structural profiles such as L-beams, I-beams, U-channels, and T-sections, provided they are fabricated from iron or nonalloy steel. The classification emphasizes the material composition as the primary determinant for inclusion. These items may be further processed, such as being drilled or punched, but their fundamental classification remains tied to their material and form as structural angles, shapes, and sections.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, the focus for classification within 7301.20.10.00 is on definitively identifying the material as iron or nonalloy steel and ensuring the product conforms to the definition of an angle, shape, or section, as outlined in the broader Chapter 73 and Section XV of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
