Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the steel foil is not clad with silver or the silver is applied by electroplating
Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, plated or coated with other metals, would fall under heading 72.12.
If the silver cladding is so thick that the product is considered silver foil
Silver in semi-manufactured forms (other than rolled) may be classified under heading 71.06.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the steel foil is not further worked (e.g
• no cutting to specific shapes or lamination with other materials) to qualify as semi-manufactured
• Provide technical data sheets showing the hot-rolling cladding process and the thickness of the silver layer
• Be prepared to demonstrate that the silver is not a minor constituent, as minor ornamentation would exclude it from this heading
