Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7214.99.00Same rate: 35%

If lower carbon content <0.6%

Spring steel flats under 0.6% carbon classify in the other rectangular nonalloy subheading.

7228.70.30Same rate: 35%

If alloy angles/shapes but rectangular profile

Alloy versions of similar rectangular sections fall under alloy steel headings.

7308.90Lower: 10% vs 35%

If fabricated into structural sections

Post-import fabrication into beams/angles shifts to Chapter 73 iron/steel structures.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include heat treatment records if normalized post-hot-draw, but avoid chemical/physical surface treatments to stay 'not further worked'

Measure width/thickness ratio carefully; very thin flats may face review for 7213/7214 distinction

Certify carbon content precisely; borderline cases often require lab testing by CBP
