Transformer Grade Silicon Steel Narrow Strip 0.23mm x 100mm
Transformer Grade Silicon Steel Narrow Strip is a flat-rolled product of silicon-electrical steel, measuring 0.23 mm in thickness and 100 mm in width, which is less than 600 mm. It is grain non-oriented and designed for use in distribution transformers, where its silicon content enhances magnetic properties and reduces energy losses. This product falls under tariff item 7226.19.00 as 'Other' flat-rolled silicon-electrical steel of a width less than 600 mm.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the steel is grain-oriented
Grain-oriented silicon-electrical steel is classified separately from non-oriented grades under the same heading.
If the width is 600 mm or more
Flat-rolled silicon-electrical steel of a width of 600 mm or more falls under heading 7225, not 7226.
If the product is in coils and width is less than 600 mm
This subheading covers other alloy steel flat-rolled products in coils, but silicon-electrical steel is specifically excluded, so this would only apply if the steel is not silicon-electrical.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product's width is less than 600 mm and that it meets the definition of silicon-electrical steel (0.6% to 6% silicon, max 0.08% carbon) to qualify for this tariff item
• Provide a mill test certificate or chemical analysis to the CBSA to confirm the steel's composition
• Verify the product is not further worked beyond flat-rolling (e.g
• not cut to non-rectangular shapes) to avoid reclassification
