Nonalloy Steel Slab Ingots
Nonalloy steel slab ingots are semi-rectangular thick ingots, typically 200-300mm thick, of nonalloy steel, primarily for hot-rolling into plate or sheet. They are primary forms of iron and nonalloy steel, not yet worked beyond casting, and therefore fall under tariff item 7206.10.00 as ingots.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the ingots have been hot-rolled into semi-finished products
Semi-finished products of iron or nonalloy steel with 0.25% or more carbon are classified under heading 7207.
If the ingots are of other alloy steel
Ingots of other alloy steel are classified under heading 7224.
