Clad Stainless Steel Strip for Cookware
Flat-rolled nonalloy steel strip less than 600 mm wide, clad with stainless steel on one or both sides for enhanced corrosion resistance and heat distribution. This product falls under HTS 7212.60.00.00 as it is a clad flat-rolled product of nonalloy steel, not further worked beyond cladding. Commonly used in manufacturing multi-ply cookware bottoms.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If further worked after cladding, such as polished or coated
Further surface treatments like polishing move the product to Chapter 72 heading 7219 for worked flat-rolled products.
If the base material is alloy steel instead of nonalloy
Clad products of alloy steel fall under heading 7225, not 7212 which is specific to nonalloy steel.
If width exceeds 600 mm
Width threshold of 600 mm shifts classification from 7212 (narrow) to 7210 (wider flat-rolled products).

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide mill test certificates confirming base nonalloy steel composition and cladding material to avoid reclassification as stainless steel
• Measure width precisely before entry; products 600mm+ shift to heading 7212.10
• Declare cladding process details to distinguish from simple plating or coating under other subheadings
