Nonalloy Steel Bulb Flat 150x8mm
Bulb flat profile, hot-rolled from non-alloy steel, 150 mm wide and 8 mm thick, with a bulb-shaped edge, used as stiffeners in shipbuilding. The specialized flat-with-bulb shape is not a universal plate, flat-rolled product, bar, or rod, so it classifies under tariff item 7216.99.00 as an other section of non-alloy steel.
