Cold-Rolled Razor Blade Steel Strip
Thin flat-rolled nonalloy steel strip under 0.25 mm thick and less than 300 mm wide, with low carbon content (<0.25%), specifically certified for razor blade production. It falls under HTS 7211.23.4500 as cold-rolled, not further worked, meeting the exact dimensional and composition criteria. This high-precision strip is ideal for cutting into sharp edges without additional processing.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If certified as razor blade steel but further worked
Any surface treatment like coating or polishing after cold-rolling moves it from 'not further worked' to Chapter 72 'further worked' provisions.
If containing alloying elements meeting tool steel definitions
Products qualifying as tool steel per U.S. Note (e) are classified under stainless or alloy steel headings rather than nonalloy steel.
If width of 300 mm or more
Width threshold of <300 mm defines this specific subheading; wider cold-rolled low-carbon sheets fall under different width provisions.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide certification at entry confirming use in razor blade manufacture per U.S
• Note (d) to qualify for this subheading
• Verify exact thickness ≤0.25 mm and width <300 mm with mill test certificates to prevent measurement disputes
• Avoid any plating, coating, or further working like polishing, as these shift classification to later headings
