Chapter 72Iron and steel

The headings in this chapter of the AHECC, the Australian export classification published by the ABS. Each one opens on the codes it contains.

Chapter 72 covers the material: pig iron, ferro-alloys, flat and long products, up to semi-finished forms. There it stops. Anything that is a recognisable article belongs to Chapter 73.

This chapter is governed by its notes more than by its wording. Note 1 defines in law what alloy steel, stainless steel and a flat-rolled product are: these are numeric composition thresholds, and an analysis that crosses one changes the heading, whatever the product is called commercially.
