7219.32.00Same rate: 35%

If cold-rolled after hot-rolling

Cold-rolled flat stainless products shift to chapter 72 heading 7219, regardless of width-to-thickness ratio.

7222.11.00Same rate: 35%

If stainless tool steel per note (e)

Tool steels with specific alloy compositions (e.g., >1.2% C and >10.5% Cr) classify under 7222 for stainless bars/rods/plates.

7218.99.00Same rate: 35%

If square cross-section

Square cross-section stainless semi-finished products fall under the 'other' subheading excluding rectangular/sheet-like forms.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify exact dimensions and width-to-thickness ratio at entry to confirm 7218.91.00.60 classification; measure uncoiled width precisely

Provide mill test certificate confirming stainless steel composition (min 10.5% chromium) and austenitic grade like 304

Avoid rust/discoloration claims as Chapter 72 notes deny duty reductions for pre-entry surface damage
