Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If universal mill plate specs met
US Note (b) defines universal mill plate (4mm+ thick, specific width); thinner shims stay in 'other' subheading.
If imported as machinery parts, not flat-rolled stock
Parts of machines classified in Chapter 84/85 by function, not material form.
If width of 600mm or more
Width threshold separates 7211 (<600mm) from 7213 (≥600mm) headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• 1
• Mill test certificate must specify exact gauge/thickness for >1.25mm verification. 2
• Ensure product remains in flat-rolled form, not cut to specific shapes. 3
• Common error: classifying precision-ground shims under tool steel provisions
