Alternative Classifications

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

7225.99.00Same rate: 35%

If tool steel alloy

Specific alloy combinations meeting tool steel definition in US Note 72(e) use alloy headings.

7209.16.00Same rate: 35%

If high-strength but thicker (>=0.5mm)

Thickness threshold determines subheading within high-strength cold-rolled series.

8541Lower: 10% vs 35%

If part of complete solar modules

Assembled photovoltaic modules classify in Chapter 85, not component steel.
