Alternative Classifications

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

7208.51.00Same rate: 35%

If thickness is 3 mm or more

Thickness threshold separates subheadings within 7208; thicker coils go to 7208.51 for hot-rolled nonalloy steel.

7211.23Lower: 10% vs 35%

If cold-rolled after hot-rolling

Cold-rolled products (further worked beyond hot-rolling) classify under Chapter 72 heading 7211.

7207.20.00Same rate: 35%

If width under 600 mm

Width of 600 mm or more is required for heading 7208; narrower semi-finished products fall to 7207.
