Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the billet ingots have been hot-rolled into semi-finished products
Semi-finished non-alloy steel with less than 0.25% carbon is classified under heading 7207.
If hot-rolled and containing 0.25% or more carbon
Higher carbon semi-finished products fall under this alternative.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the billet ingots are in primary form and not considered semi-finished products under Chapter 72 note 1(ij)
• Provide dimensions and composition data to support classification
• Confirm the steel is non-alloy and has not been hot-rolled
