Alternative Classifications

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

7212.10.00.00Same rate: 35%

If width less than 600 mm

Flat-rolled nonalloy steel products under 600 mm width fall under heading 7212 regardless of cladding.

7225.11.00.00Same rate: 35%

If base metal is alloy steel

Clad products with alloy steel base (meeting Chapter 72 note definitions) classify under Chapter 72 alloy steel headings.

7210.49.00Same rate: 35%

If considered coated rather than metallurgically clad

Surface coatings applied by painting or galvanizing (not diffusion bonded) fall under 'other' coated categories.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide metallurgical certification confirming cladding bond integrity and base metal is nonalloy steel to avoid reclassification

Declare exact width, thickness, and cladding material; products under 600mm width shift to different subheadings
