7212.60.00.00Same rate: 35%

If oiled, coated, or otherwise surface treated

'Further worked' includes oil coating per Chapter notes, requiring classification under cladded/coated headings.

7302.40.00.00Same rate: 35%

If further manufactured into fish plates or sole plates

Articles like rail track fittings made from such steel shift from semi-finished flat products to finished articles.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include chemical analysis report showing carbon content suitable for nonalloy steel to prevent reclassification

Declare exact coil dimensions; uncoiling for measurement common at entry if specs appear borderline

Avoid rust allowances—Chapter 72 note denies duty reduction for pre-entry discoloration on steel products
