This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If carbon tests <0.25%
Heat variations putting 1018 under 0.25% C threshold shift classification.
If further worked
Any polishing, coating per Chapter notes makes 'further worked' under 7218.
If alloy elements present
Elevated Mn or other alloys convert to alloy steel semifinished products.
