Alternative Classifications

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

7208.51.00Same rate: 35%

If thickness of 3 mm or more

Thickness threshold separates subheadings within 7208; ≥3 mm shifts to thicker hot-rolled coil category.

7211.23Lower: 10% vs 35%

If not in coils

Coil form vs straight lengths changes heading from 7208 (coils) to 7211 (not in coils).

7225.30.70.00Same rate: 35%

If alloy steel content exceeds nonalloy limits

Products with >10% alloying elements (per Chapter 72 note 1) classify under alloy steel headings like 7225.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact thickness and width measurements to confirm <3mm and >600mm criteria; provide mill test certificates

Ensure product is truly 'not further worked' - no polishing, coating, or other surface treatments per Chapter 72 notes

Declare chemical composition to distinguish nonalloy steel (≤10% alloying elements) from alloy steels in Chapter 72
