Products classified under HTS 7206.90.00.00
Steel Billet 150x150mm
A semi-finished square steel billet measuring 150mm x 150mm, produced by continuous casting from nonalloy steel, used as primary form for further rolling into bars or shapes. Classified under HTS 7206.90.00.00 as 'other' primary forms of nonalloy steel excluding ingots. Not further worked beyond basic casting.
Steel Bloom 250x250mm
Large rectangular steel bloom 250x250mm cross-section, primary form from continuous casting process, destined for rolling into heavy sections or plates. HTS 7206.90.00.00 covers such nonalloy steel primary forms excluding standard ingots. Meets definition of primary form before hot-rolling.
Steel Slab 200mm Thick
Flat rectangular steel slab approximately 200mm thick x 1.5m wide, primary form for plate/sheet production via hot-rolling. Classifies in HTS 7206.90.00.00 as other primary forms of nonalloy iron/steel excluding remelting ingots. Surface may have scale but no further working per Chapter notes.
Nonalloy Steel Rundown 180mm Diameter
Cylindrical steel rundown 180mm diameter, semi-finished primary form produced by continuous casting for wire rod production. HTS 7206.90.00.00 for other primary forms excluding iron of 7203. Distinguished from wire rod by lack of reduction/elongation.
Steel Cylindrical Ingot Mold Casting
Large cylindrical steel casting from ingot mold process, irregular surfaces typical of primary steel forms before remelting or rolling. HTS 7206.90.00.00 captures such other primary forms not meeting standard ingot definitions. Used in specialty steelmaking.
Continuous Cast Steel Strand Section
Steel strand section from continuous casting machine, cut to length as primary form prior to reheating for rolling. Classifies under HTS 7206.90.00.00 as other nonalloy steel primary forms. Scale-covered surface indicates no further working.
Nonalloy Steel Pig
Block-shaped steel pig cast in sand molds, traditional primary form for remelting in open hearth furnaces. HTS 7206.90.00.00 for such other primary nonalloy steel forms excluding modern ingots. Common in developing steel industries.
Steel Primary Form Wedge
Wedge-shaped steel primary casting from bottom-poured ingot, used for forging stock. Irregular surfaces qualify as HTS 7206.90.00.00 other primary nonalloy steel forms. Not in standard billet/bloom/slab geometries.
ESR Steel Electrode Bar Primary
Electroslag remelted (ESR) steel electrode bar as primary form before final remelt. HTS 7206.90.00.00 covers specialized primary nonalloy steel forms. Used for high-quality aerospace forging stock.
