HTS Chapter 72

Iron and steel

81 HTS codes in this chapter

Base metals and articles thereof

Chapters 72 through 83 cover iron and steel, copper, nickel, aluminum, lead, zinc, tin, and other base metals and their articles. This is one of Mexico's most important industrial sectors, particularly steel and aluminum, which are fundamental inputs for the automotive, construction, and manufacturing industries. Tariff policy for metals is highly sensitive: Section 232 tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum from non-USMCA origins have been implemented at various times. Correct tariff classification and origin determination are essential for accessing preferential duty rates.
