Alternative Classifications

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

7209.15.00.00Same rate: 35%

If of thickness 0.361 mm+ but <0.5 mm

Internal thickness split within blackplate category at 0.361 mm gauge.

8507.90.40.00Higher: 53.5% vs 35%

If imported as battery parts, not bulk sheet

Stamped battery cans classify as lead-acid battery parts, not flat-rolled Chapter 72.

7217.10.20.00Same rate: 35%

If further worked by painting before import

Painted flat products move to 7217; uncoated stays in primary cold-rolled forms.

Import Tips & Compliance

Battery grades require low carbon (<0.06%)—include analysis certificates proving nonalloy status

Tight thickness control (±0.005 mm typical)—caliper measurements at entry recommended

Distinguish from razor blade steel (US Note d)—different dimensions/composition limits
