Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If <0.25% carbon
Lower carbon semifinished steel classified under 7207.11, separate from ≥0.25% C subheading.
If forged into bars
Forged carbon steel bars >0.25% C move to 7214, no longer semifinished.
If hot-rolled into flat products
Hot-rolled into sheets/plates shifts to Chapter 72 flat-rolled products.
