Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7208.25.30.00Same rate: 35%

If universal mill plate form (not coil)

Universal mill plates per note (b) use 7208.25; coils remain in 7208.3x regardless of strength.

7210.41.00Same rate: 35%

If further worked (pickled/oiled)

Surface treatments like oiling constitute 'further worked' per chapter note, shifting to 7210 series.

7208.10.15Same rate: 35%

If of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more

Thicker hot-rolled products (>4.75mm) classified under 7208.10 universal mill plate provisions.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit tensile strength test data proving ≥1180 MPa ultimate strength for martensitic classification

Label coils clearly with HTS specs and heat numbers for CBP examination

Monitor for edge cracking common in ultra-high strength steels; proper uncoiling handling prevents claims
