Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If painted or varnished
Painting constitutes nonmetallic coating, defined as further worked in Chapter 72 notes.
If heat-resisting steel composition
Low-carbon chromium steels meeting heat-resisting definition classify under alloy headings 7228.
If imported as finished machine parts
Shims as completed metal parts for machines shift to Chapter 84/85 specific function headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide precise dimensional tolerances in entry docs to confirm thickness >1.25 mm classification
• Certify as nonalloy steel; trace elements could trigger alloy reclassification
• Declare intended end-use if for specific industries to avoid anti-dumping scrutiny
