Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If width 300-600 mm
The 300 mm width breakpoint separates narrow strips from wider flat-rolled products in the same cold-rolled category.
If further worked with oiled or coated surface
Surface treatments like oiling for protection constitute 'further worked' per chapter notes, shifting to heading 7217.
If imported as finished structural shapes rather than flat-rolled
If profiled or shaped beyond flat-rolled form during import, it becomes fish plates or structural sections.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include detailed mill test reports confirming carbon <0.25%, exact thickness, and cold-rolled status
• Ensure product is shipped in coils or straight lengths without protective coatings to maintain 'not further worked' status
