Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If other hot-rolled semi-finished
Basic hot-rolling converts primary forms to semi-finished of 7207.
If ferro-silicon alloy addition
Silicon >0.3% with other alloys may qualify as ferroalloy of Chapter 72.
If plated after import
Chapter note defines 'further worked' plating as moving out of Chapter 72.
