Pig iron and spiegeleisen in pigs, blocks or other primary forms

Heading 7201 covers pig iron and spiegeleisen in pigs, blocks or other primary forms, meaning the crude iron product that comes straight from a blast furnace before any further refining or shaping. The heading splits first into nonalloy pig iron, which is divided by phosphorus content at the 0.5% by weight line, and a residual group for alloy pig iron and spiegeleisen. All four declarable lines in this heading carry a general (MFN) duty rate of Free.
