HS Code 720310

HS code 720310 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Ferrous products obtained by direct reduction of iron ore and other spongy ferrous products, in lumps, pellets or similar forms; iron having a minimum purity by weight of 99,94 %, in lumps, pellets or similar forms : Ferrous products obtained by direct reduction of iron ore". The first two digits (72) are the chapter — Iron and steel — and digits 3-4 (7203) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 720310 include direct reduced iron, DRI, sponge iron and similar items matching ferrous products obtained by direct reduction of…. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (720310) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
