Product classification
HS code for Stamped steel products: 7326.19
Iron or steel, articles n.e.c. in item no. 7326.11, forged or stamped, but not further worked.
Classification of stamped steel products under HS 7326.19
The classification 7326.19 applies to a broad range of iron or steel articles that are forged or stamped but not further worked, excluding the grinding balls covered by 7326.11. This is a residual sub-heading within the forged and stamped category of heading 7326. To qualify for this code, the article must be in a state where it has been shaped by a stamping press or forging hammer but has not yet been subjected to finishing processes like drilling, threading, or complex machining that would turn it into a specific identifiable part of a machine or structure. If the item is a finished component, it may be classified according to its function (e.g., as a part of a vehicle in Chapter 87). However, as a semi-finished stamped article of steel, 7326.19 is the appropriate classification under GRI 1 and 6. This code is vital for industrial suppliers who provide raw stamped shapes to manufacturers for further processing.

Codes often confused with 7326.19
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 7326.90, which is for "other" articles of steel that are finished or have been further worked (e.g., turned, milled, or coated). If the stamped product has been galvanized or painted, it might still fall here if the "further working" is considered minor, but usually, 7326.90 is the catch-all for finished goods. Another confusion arises with 8708 for automotive stampings; if the part is identifiable solely as a car part, Chapter 87 takes precedence over Chapter 73.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
