Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 7218.99.00
AISI 304 Stainless Steel Billet
A square solid section of AISI 304 stainless steel, typically 100-150mm across, used as primary input for forging or rolling into bars and sheets. Classified under HTS 7218.99.00 as a semi-finished product in primary form, not yet reduced to bars, rods, profiles, or wire. Meets Chapter 72 definitions for stainless steel semi-finished products other than ingots.
316L Stainless Steel Bloom
Semi-finished rectangular stainless steel bloom of 316L grade (16-18% Cr, 10-14% Ni, low carbon), typically 200x200mm cross-section, for further hot working into plates or structural shapes. HTS 7218.99.00 covers other stainless semi-finished products beyond specific forms like ingots. Used in chemical processing equipment due to corrosion resistance.
Duplex 2205 Stainless Steel Slab
Thick semi-finished slab of duplex 2205 stainless steel (22% Cr, 5% Ni, 3% Mo), approximately 200-300mm thick, for hot rolling into heavy plates used in oil & gas. Falls under HTS 7218.99.00 as other stainless semi-finished products in primary form. High strength from ferritic-austenitic microstructure.
17-4 PH Stainless Steel Round Billet
Precipitation-hardening 17-4 PH stainless steel billet, circular cross-section 150mm diameter, for aerospace forgings. HTS 7218.99.00 as other semi-finished stainless not in ingot form or specific worked shapes. Provides high strength after heat treatment.
430 Stainless Steel Semi-Finished Block
Ferritic 430 stainless steel block (16-18% Cr), rectangular 250x150mm, for automotive trim production. Under HTS 7218.99.00 for other stainless semi-finished products. Economical magnetic stainless grade.
321 Stainless Steel Forging Billet
Stabilized 321 stainless steel (18% Cr, 10% Ni, Ti addition) billet for high-temperature exhaust components. HTS 7218.99.00 as other primary semi-finished stainless steel. Prevents carbide precipitation in welding.
Monel 400 Equivalent Stainless Billet
Ni-Cu stainless equivalent to Monel 400, semi-finished billet for marine propeller shafts. HTS 7218.99.00 covers other stainless semi-finished not elsewhere specified. Excellent seawater corrosion resistance.
AISI 310 Stainless Steel Slab
High-temperature AISI 310 stainless slab (25% Cr, 20% Ni), 250mm thick for furnace parts. Under HTS 7218.99.00 as other stainless semi-finished products. Heat-resisting per Chapter note if <0.3%C.
409 Stainless Steel Semi-Finished Round
Ferritic 409 stainless (11% Cr) round semi-finished stock, 120mm diameter for exhaust tubing. HTS 7218.99.00 for other stainless primary forms. Automotive exhaust grade.
Custom 450 Stainless Billet
Martensitic Custom 450 stainless billet (15% Cr, 6% Ni, 1% Mo) for pump shafts. HTS 7218.99.00 other stainless semi-finished. Precipitation hardenable grade.
